Tales of the

Olden
Time

He's of the gay Gordons,
And George is his name."

She wrote to Glenlogie,

To tell him her mind:
"My love is laid on you,
Oh, will you prove kind?"
He turn'd about lightly,

As the Gordons do a':
"I thank you, fair Ladye,
But I'm promis'd awa."

She call'd on her maidens
Her jewels to take,
And to lay her in bed,

For her heart it did break.

"Glenlogie! Glenlogie!
"Glenlogie!" said she;
"If I getna Glenlogie,

I'm sure I will dee."

"Oh, hold your tongue, daughter,
And weep na sae sair;
For you'll get Drumfindlay,
His father's young heir."
"Oh, hold your tongue, father,
And let me alane;

If I getna Glenlogie,
I'll never wed ane."
