Wha' wad-na be in love wi bonnie Maggie Lauder?
A piper met her gaun to Fife
And spier'd what was't they ca'd her
Richt scornfully she answered him
“Begone, you hallanshaker!
Jog on your gate, you bladderskate!
My name is Maggie Lauder!"
Maggie! quoth he; and, by my bags
I'm fidgin' fain to see thee!
Sit down by me, my bonnie bird
In troth I winna steer thee;
For I'ma piper to my trade;
My name is Rab the Ranter:
The lasses loup as they were daft
When I blaw up my chanter
Piper quo' Meg, haе ye your bags
Or is your drone in order?
If yе be Rab, I've heard o' you;
Live ye upon the border?
The lasses a', baith far and near
Have heard o' Rab the Ranter;
I'll shake my foot wi' richt guid will
Gif ye'll blew up your chanter
A piper met her gaun to Fife
And spier'd what was't they ca'd her
