The Silken Snood

O I hae lost my silken snood
That tied my hair sae yellow
I gied it tae the lad I lo'ed
He was a gallant fellow

And twine it weel my bonnie doo
And twine it weel the plaiden
The lassie lost her silken snood
A-pu'in' o' the bracken

He praised my een sae bonnie blue
Sae lily-white my skin-o
And syne he pried my bonnie mou'
And swore it wis nae sin-o

And twine it weel …

But he has left the lass he lo'ed
His ain true love forsaken
Which gars me fair tae greet the snood
I lost amang the bracken

And twine it weel …

I know it from the singing of Aileen Carr and Maureen Jelks
