O lay thy loof in mine

CHORUS.O lay thy loof in mine, lass,In mine, lass, in mine, lass,And swear in thy white hand, lass,That thou wilt be my ain.

A slave to love's unbounded sway,He aft has wrought me meikle wae;But now he is my deadly fae,Unless thou be my ain.O lay thy loof, &c.

There's monie a lass has broke my rest,That for a blink I hae lo'ed best;But thou art Queen within my breast,For ever to remain.O lay thy loof, &c.
