Summary
As I cam owre yon high high hill, I met a bonnie lassie; she looked at me and I at her, and, wow, but she looked saucy.
Willie Mathieson attempts the chorus but says the Ord version does not fit his tune. He learned the song from Jimmy Jaffray at Drakemyre.
Item Notes
Text transcribed in School of Scottish Studies. 1 verse and 2 lines of refrain. Not in Willie Mathieson's MSS.
