Summary

A love song in which a woman describes a fickle lad, saying that she is dejected since he has left. She first fell in love with him when she saw him among the people going to church on Sunday. Everyone else is telling her that he has many sweethearts, but she will not believe this tale. When he goes to Edinburgh, all the noble ladies will be pursuing him.
