What mark has your Maggie,
What mark has your Maggie,
What mark has your Maggie,
Tha ane may ken her be?
Wry-cunted is she,
Wry-cunted is she,
Wry-cunted is she,
And pishes gain’ her thie.
3
My Maggie has a mark,
Ye ‘ll find it in the dark,
It ‘s below her sark,
A little aboon her
4
What wealth has your Maggie,
What wealth has your Maggie,
What wealth has your Maggie,
In tocher, gear, or fee?
5
My Maggie has a treasure,
A hidden mine o’ pleasure,
I’ll howk it at my leisure
It ‘s alane for me.
6
How loe ye your Maggy
How loe ye your Maggy
How loe ye your Maggy
An loe nane but she?
7
Ein that tell our wishes,
Eager glowing kisses,
Then diviner blisses,
In holy ecstacy!----------
8
How meet you your Maggie,
How meet you your Maggie,
How meet you your Maggie,
When nane ‘s to hear or see?
9
Heavenly joys before me,
Rapture trembling o’er me,
Maggie I adore thee,
On my bended knee!!!
