MY Sandy gied to me a ring,
Was a beset wi diamonds fine;
But I gied him a far better thing,
I gied my heart in pledge o his ring.
Chorus.My Sandy O, my Sandy O,
My bonie, bonie Sandy O;
Tho the love that I owe
To thee I dare na show,
Yet I love my love in secret, my Sandy O.
My Sandy brak a piece o gowd,
While down his cheeks the saut tears rowd;
He took a hauf, and gied it to me,
And Ill keep it till the hour I die.
My Sand O, &c.
