Subject: Lyr Req: Glasgow Peggy by Silly Wizard
This is the recording I'm trying to get the lyrics to: Glasgow Peggy

I've managed to get most of the lyrics from this site and a couple of other sites, but I'm missing a couple of verses, and I've no doubt made a couple of mistakes.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

What I have:

[Verse]
First when I come tae Glesga toon
The Hieland troops were a' before me
And the bonniest lass that e'er I saw
She lived in Glesga, they ca'ed her Peggy

[Verse]
Their chief did meet her faither soon
And oh, but he was wondrous angry
He says, "Ye mon tak my oxen and kye
But ye maunna tak my bonnie Peggy"

[Verse]
"Oh, haud yer tongue, ye gude auld man
For I've got coos and yowes already
I come nae to steal yer oxen and kye
But I will steal yer bonny Peggy"

[Verse]
He set her on his jet-black horse
And he himsel' rode a fine grey naigie
And they're awa' mony miles to the north
And nane wi' them, but the bonny Peggy

[Verse]
And I've got noo ten thousand sheep
A' grazing on yon hills sae bonny
And ilka hundred, a shepherd has
Although I be but a Hieland laddie

[Verse]
?????

[Verse]
Oh, it's I hae fifty acre of land
And it's a' plood and sawn already
I am Lord Donald of the Isles
And why shud nae Peggy be called my lady?

[Verse]
