Glasgow Peggy by Silly Wizard Lyrics

As they came on to Glasgow town
And passd the banks and braes sae bonny
There they espied the weel-faurd may
And she said to them her name was Peggy
Their chief did meet her father soon
And O! but he was wondrous angry;
Says, Ye may steal my owsen and kye
But ye maunna steal my bonnie Peggy
‘O haud your tongue, ye gude auld man
For I've got cows and ewes already;
I come na to steal your owsen and kye
But I will steal your bonny Peggy.'
He set her on a jet-black horse
And he himsel rode a gude grey naigie
And they are on mony miles to the north
And nane wi them but the bonny Peggy

'I hae now ten thousand sheep
A' feeding on yon braes sae bonny
And ilka hundred a shepherd has
Altho I be but a Hieland laddie
‘It's I hae fifty acres of land
It's a' plowd and sawn already;
I am Donald, the Lord of Skye
And why sud na Peggy be calld a lady?
