^^OH, GIN I WERE A BARON'S HEIR

This text from Whitelaw, Book of Scottish Song (1844), titled "Lassie, would ye lo'e me". [Music by J. W. Holder, and words by Wm. Holder, according to another source]

Oh, gin I were a baron's heir,
And could I braid wi' gems your hair,
And make ye braw as ye are fair,
Lassie, would ye lo'e me?

And could I tak' ye to the town,
And shaw ye braw sights many a ane,
And busk ye fine in silken gown,
Lassie, would ye lo'e me?

Or should ye be content to prove,
In lowly life unfading love.
A heart that nought on earth could move,
Lassie, would ye lo'e me?

Nd ere the lav'rock wing the skie,
Say, would ye to the forest hie,
And work wi' me sae merrilie,
Lassie, would ye lo'e me?

And when the braw moon glistens o'er,
Our wee bit bield and heathery muir,
Will ye na greet for ye're sae puir,
Lassie, though I lo'e ye?

For I ha'e nought to offer ye,
Nae gowg frae mine, nae pearl frae sea,
Nor am I come o' hie degree,
Lassie, but I lo'e ye.

It's a good old song, and bears comparison with "Lassie wi the Yellow Coatie" by James Duff.
