fragment—the mauchline lady

　　tune—“i had a horse, i had nae mair.”

　　when first i came to stewart kyle,

　　my mind it was na steady;

　　where'er i gaed, where'er i rade,

　　a mistress still i had aye.

　　but when i came roun' by mauchline toun,

　　not dreadin anybody,

　　my heart was caught, before i thought,

　　and by a mauchline lady.
