"Baron's Heir + Sadenia's Air"
(John McCusker / Traditional)

O gin I were a baron's heir
And I could braid gems in my hair,
I'd be as braw as ye are fair
Laddie would you love me
And I would take you to the toun
And show you braw sights, manys a wan
And I would wear a silken gown
Oh, laddie would you love me

Oh should you be content I'll prove in lowly life unfading love
A heart that none on earth can move
Oh, laddie would you love me
And ere the laverock wings the sky
Would you unto the forest hie
And live with me until we die
Oh, laddie would you love me

And when the braw moon glistens o'er
Our lonesome bield and heathery mair
Will you no greet that we're so poor
Oh laddie for I love thee
For I have nought to offer thee
No gold from mine nor pearl from sea
Nor do I come fae high degree
Oh, laddie how I love thee

Ah, would you come and marry me
Oh, laddie would you love me
