In searching for creepy Halloween songs, I came cross this song in a book called "Harmonized Melodies" by Ferdinand Trifet pub Charles D Blake 1893
The melody is completely inappropriate for the words (very major and romantic). Wonder if there are other versions out there, or anything about the song?

The Braw New Shoon W.T.Bell

Where gat ye the braw new shoon , laddie?
Where gat ye the braw new shoon?
I gat them frae a peddlar lad
Just as the sun gaed doon
He was waitin' by the bogle stane
Tae hear the cushat croon
He was waitin' by the bogle stane
Tae hear the cushat croon

An' what ga'e ye for the shoon laddie?
An' what ga'e ye for the shoon?
I caimed his hair wi'an iron caim
Till the reed swat ran doon
An' I left him sleepin' by the burn
Amang the bracken broon
I left him sleepin' by the burn
Amang the bracken broon

Oh! An wae's me for the shoon laddie
Wae's me, but I rue the shoon!
The judge will say the fearsome words
Donned in black cap an' goon
An' ravens croak an' flap their wings
The gallows tree aboon
An' ravens croak an' flap their wings
The gallows tree aboon

What hae ye dean wi' my shoon lassie?
What hae ye dean wi' my shoon?
I left them baith by Rab McGill's
When I was in the toon
An' I've gitten a cog o' barley bree
An' we'll gar our sorrow droon
I've gitten a cog o' barley bree
An' we'll gar our sorrow droon
