Im Oer Young To Marry Yet

  i'm o'er young to marry yet
  chorus.—i'm o'er young, i'm o'er young,
  i'm o'er young to marry yet;
  i'm o'er young, 'twad be a sin
  to tak me frae my mammy yet.
  i am my mammny's ae bairn,
  wi' unco folk i weary, sir;
  and lying in a man's bed,
  i'm fley'd it mak me eerie, sir.

  the kirk maun hae the gracing o't;
  were i to lie wi' you, kind sir,
  i'm feared ye'd spoil the lacing o't.
  i'm o'er young, c.

  the nights are lang in winter, sir,
  and you an' i in ae bed,
  in trowth, i dare na venture, sir.

  blaws thro' the leafless timmer, sir;
  but if ye come this gate again;
  i'll aulder be gin simmer, sir.
