Robb verse, "The Laird o' Elfin":
10.
And ye maun winny't in your nieves
Ba-ba-ba leelie ba
And ye maun seek it in your gloves
And the wind blaws aye my plaid awa.
11.
And ye maun stook it on the sea
Ba-ba-ba leelie ba
And a dry sheaf ye maun bring to me
And the wind blaws ate my plaid awa.

From Bronson, pp. 7-8.
