to the weavers gin ye go

　　my heart was ance as blithe and free

　　as simmer days were lang;

　　but a bonie, westlin weaver lad

　　has gart me change my sang.

　　chorus.—to the weaver's gin ye go, fair maids,

　　to the weaver's gin ye go;

　　i rede you right, gang ne'er at night,

　　to the weaver's gin ye go.

　　my mither sent me to the town,

　　to warp a plaiden wab;

　　but the weary, weary warpin o't

　　has gart me sigh and sab.

　　to the weaver's, c.

　　a bonie, westlin weaver lad

　　sat working at his loom;

　　he took my heart as wi' a net,

　　in every knot and thrum.

　　to the weaver's, c.

　　i sat beside my warpin-wheel,

　　and aye i ca'd it roun';

　　but every shot and evey knock,

　　my heart it gae a stoun.

　　to the weaver's, c.

　　the moon was sinking in the west,

　　wi' visage pale and wan,

　　as my bonie, westlin weaver lad

　　convoy'd me thro' the glen.

　　to the weaver's, c.

　　but what was said, or what was done,

　　shame fa' me gin i tell;

　　but oh! i fear the kintra soon

　　will ken as weel's myself!

　　to the weaver's, c.
