o lay thy loof in mine, lass(1/1)

o lay thy loof in mine, lass

chorus—o lay thy loof in mine, lass,

in mine, lass, in mine, lass;

and swear on thy white hand, lass,

that thou wilt be my ain.

a slave to love's unbounded sway,

he aft has wrought me meikle wae;

but now he is my deadly fae,

unless thou be my ain.

o lay thy loof, &c.

there's mony a lass has broke my rest,

that for a blink i hae lo'ed best;

but thou art queen within my breast,

for ever to remain.

o lay thy loof, &c.
