Gin I Were A Baron's Heir - Dougie MacLean

Gin i were a baron’s heir

And could i braid wi' gems your hair

And make ye braw as ye are fair

Lassie would ye lo’e me?

And i would take ye tae the toon

And show ye braw sicchts mony an ane

And busk ye wi' a silken goon

Lassie would ye lo’e me?

Or should ye be content to prove

In lowly life unfading love

A heart that nought on earth could move

Lassie would ye lo’e me?

And ere the lavrock wings the sky

Say would ye tae the forest high

And work wi' me sae merrily

Lassie would ye lo’e me?

And when the braw moon glistens o’er

Oor wee bit bield and heathery muir

Will ye nay greet that we’re sae puir

Lassie for i lo’e ye?

For i hae naught tae offer ye Nae gowd frae mine nae pearl frae sea

Nor am i come o' high degree

Lassie but i lo’e ye
