Yonder Lea

o wert thou in the cauld blast

on yonder lea on yonder lea

o wert thou in the cauld blast

way down on yonder lea

or did misfortune's bitter storms

around thee blaw around thee blaw

or did misfortune's bitter storms

around thee all would blaw

or were i in the wildest waste

sae black and bare sae black and bare

or were i in the wildest waste

where all was black and bare

the desert were a paradise

if thou wert there if thou wert there

the desert were a paradise

if thou wert ever there

my plaidie to the angry airt

i’d shelter thee i’d shelter thee

my plaidie to the angry airt

and i would shelter thee

the brightest jewel in my crown

wad be my queen wad be my queen

the brightest jewel in my crown

my queen would ever be
