O, Galloway Tam Came Here To Court


O, Galloway Tam came here to court;
I would rather we had given him the red-brown cow;
For our girl Bess may curse and ban
The wanton wit o' Galloway Tam.

O, Galloway Tam came here to shear;
I would rather we had given him the good gray mare;
He kissed the wife and struck the husband;
And that is the tricks of Galloway Tam.
