The song that came into my head when I saw this request is "The Gairdner Chiel", though Chiel means Child not wife. “O ye shall hae my rose, fair maid, Gin ye’ll gie your flooer tae me, And amang the flooers o’ your faither’s yard I’ll mak’ a gown for thee." https://mainlynorfolk.info/shirley.collins/songs/proudmaisrie.html
