# The Book of Scottish Song/O saw ye my Father

O saw ye my Father.
[This is an old song, and the tune to which it is attached is also old and beautiful. The words, however, can be traced no farther back than to Herd's collection. In Cromek's "Remains of Nithsdale and Galloway Song," a spurious version of the song is given, evidently from the pen of Allan Cunningham.]
O saw ye my father, or saw ye my mither, Or saw ye my true love John? I saw nae your father, I saw nae your mither, But I saw your true love John.
It's now ten at night, and the stars gi'e nae light, And the bells they ring ding dang, He's met wi' some delay that causes him to stay, But he will be here ere lang.
The surly auld carle did naething but snarl, And Johnny's face it grew red, Yet tho' he often sigh'd he ne'er a word replied, Till a' were asleep in bed.
Then up Johnny rose, and to the door he goes, And gently tirled at the pin, The lassie taking tent unto the door she went, And she open'd and lat him in.
And are ye come at last! and do I hold you fast! And is my Johnny true? I have nae time to tell, but sae lang's I like mysel', Sae lang sall I like you.
Flee up, flee up, my bonnie grey cock, And craw when it is day, And your neck shall be like the bonnie beaten gold, And your wings of the silver grey.
The cock proved false, and untrue he was, For he crew an hour owre soon: The lassie thought it day when she sent her love away, And it was but a blink of the moon.
# The Book of Scottish Song/O tell me how to woo thee

O tell me how to woo thee.
[Written by Mr. Graham of Gartmore, and first published in the Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border, 1801.]
If doughty deeds my lady please, Right soon I'll mount my steed: And strong his arm, and fast his seat, That bears frae me the meed. I'll wear thy colours in my cap, Thy picture in my heart; And he that bends not to thine eye, Shall rue it to his smart. Then tell me how to woo thee, love, O tell me how to woo thee! For thy dear sake, nae care I'll take, Though ne'er another trow me.
If gay attire delight thine eye, I'll dight me in array; I'll tend thy chamber door all night, And squire thee all the day. If sweetest sounds can win thine ear, These sounds I'll strive to catch; Thy voice I'll steal to woo thysell, That voice that nane can match.
But if fond love thy heart can gain, I never broke a vow; Nae maiden lays her skaith to me; I never loved but you. For you alone I ride the ring, For you I wear the blue; For you alone I strive to sing— O tell me how to woo!
# The Book of Scottish Song/O that I had ne'er married

O that I had ne’er married.
[The first verse and chorus of this is a fragment of an old song to the tune of "Crowdie." The second verse was added by Burns.]
O that I had ne'er been married! I wad never had nae care; Now I've gotten wife and bairns, And they cry Crowdie evermair.
Ance crowdie, twice crowdie, Three times crowdie in a day: Gin ye crowdie ony mair, 'Ye'll crowdie a' my meal away.
Waefu' want and hunger fley me, Glowrin' by the hallan en': Sair I fecht them at the door; But aye I'm eerie they come ben. Ance crowdie, &c.
# The Book of Scottish Song/O weel's me

O weel’s me.
[Tune, "Landlady, count the Lawin'."]
O, weel's me on my ain man, My ain man, my ain man! O, weel's me on my ain gudeman! He'll aye be welcome hame.
I'm wae I blamed him yesternight, For now my heart is feather light; For gowd I wadna gl'e the sight, I see him linkin owre the height. O, weel's me on my ain man, &c.
Rin, Jeanie, bring the kebbuek ben, An' fin 'aneath the spreckl'd hen; Meg, rise and sweep about the fire, Syne cry on Johnnie frae the byre. ​For weel's me on my ain man! My ain man, my ain man; For weel's me on my ain gudeman I see him rinnin hame.
# The Book of Scottish Song/O wat ye wha

O wat ye wha.
[Alexander Laing.—Air, "Wat ye wha cam' here, lassie."]
O wat ye wha cam' here yestreen? A lad that may fu' weel be seen! My luck for gowd I wadna gi'e, I'm just as blythe as blythe can be;— His frien'ly bow, an' frank gude e'en, He gied them baith to sister Jean; But a' the time as I could see, His kindly looks he gied to me. His frien'ly look, &c.
I wadna gi'e his looks yestreen, For a' the blythesome sights I've seen— I've waited lang, an' wearied been, But a' my fears were tint yestreen. A father's house—a pantry fu' O' meal to bake, and maut to brew; They're nae to slicht nor cast awa', But his kindly looks are worth them a'. A father's house, &c.
# The Book of Scottish Song/O where, tell me where

O where, tell me where.
[Written for George Thomson's collection by Mrs. Grant of Laggan, on the Marquis of Huntly's departure for the continent with his regiment in 1799. Tune, "The Blue Bell of Scotland."]
Oh where, tell me where, is your Highland laddie gone? O where, tell me where, is your Highland laddie gone? He's gone with streaming banners, where noble deeds are done, And my sad heart will tremble till he come safely home.
O where, tell me where, did your Highland laddie stay? O where, tell me where, did your Highland laddie stay? He dwelt beneath the holly trees, beside the rapid Spey, And many a blessing follow'd him, the day he went away.
O what, tell me what, does your Highland laddie wear? O what, tell me what, does your Highland laddie wear? A bonnet with a lofty plume, the gallant badge of war, And a plaid across the manly breast that yet shall wear a star.
Suppose, ah suppose, that some cruel, cruel wound Should pierce your Highland laddie, and all your hopes confound! The pipe would play a cheering march, the banners round him fly, The spirit of a Highland chief would lighten in his eye.
But I will hope to see him yet in Scotland's bonnie bounds, But I will hope to see him yet in Scotland's bonnie bounds, His native land of liberty shall nurse his glorious wounds, While wide through all our Highland hills his warlike name resounds.
[The following is another version of the song by an unknown hand.]
O where, and O where, does your Highland laddie dwell? O where, and O where, does your Highland laddie dwell? He dwells in merry Scotland, where the blue-bells sweetly smell, And oh, in my heart I love my laddie well.
O what, lassie, what does your Highland laddie wear? O what, lassie, what does your Highland laddie wear? A scarlet coat and bannet blue, with bonnie yellow hair; And nane in the warld can wi' my love compare.
O where, and O where, is your Highland laddie gane? O where, and O where, is your Highland laddie gane? He's gone to fight for George, our king, and left us all alane; For noble and brave's my loyal Highlandman. ​O what, lassie, what, if your Highland lad be slain? O what, lassie, what, if your Highland lad be slain? O no! true love will be his guard, and bring him safe again; For I never could live without my Highlandman!
O when, and O when, will your Highland lad come hame? O when, and O when, will your Highland lad come hame? Whene'er the war is over, he'll return to me with fame; And I'll plait a wreath of flowers for my lovely Highlandman.
O what will you claim for your constancy to him? O what will you claim for your constancy to him? I'll claim a priest to marry us, a clerk to say Amen; And I'll ne'er part again from my bonnie Highlandman.
# The Book of Scottish Song/O the Ewe-bughting's bonnie

O the Ewe-bughting’s bonnie.
[The first four lines of this fine pastoral lyric form part of an unfinished song by Lady Grizzle Baillie, the authoress of the old touching ditty, "Were na my heart light I wad die," (see page 135). The rest is by Thomas Pringle, author of African Sketches, who died in 1834.]
O the ewe-bughting's bonnie, baith e'ening and morn, When our blythe shepherds play on the bog-reed and horn; While we're milking they're lilting sae jocund and clear; But my heart's like to break when I think o' my dear! O the shepherds take pleasure to blow on the horn, To raise up their flocks i' the fresh simmer morn: On the steep ferny banks they feed pleasant and free— But alas! my dear heart, all my sighing's for thee!
O the sheep-herding's lightsome amang the green braes Where Cayle wimples clear 'neath the white-blossomed slaes, Where the wild-thyme and meadow-queen scent the saft gale, And the cushat croods luesomely down in the dale. There the lintwhite and mavis sing sweet frae the thorn, And blythe lilts the laverock aboon the green corn, And a' things rejoice in the simmer's glad prime— But my heart's wi' my love in the far foreign clime!
O the hay-making's pleasant, in bright sunny June— The hay-time is cheery when hearts are in tune; But while others are joking and laughing sae free, There 's a pang at my heart and a tear i' my e'e. At e'en i' the gloaming, adown by the burn, Fu' dowie, and wae, aft I daunder and mourn; Amang the lang broom I sit greeting alane, And sigh for my dear and the days that are gane.
O the days o' our youtheid were heartsome and gay, When we herded thegither by sweet Gaitshaw brae, When we plaited the rushes and pu'd the witch-bells By the Cayle's ferny howms and on Hounam's green fells. But young Sandy bood gang to the wars wi' the laird, To win honour and gowd—(gif his life it be spared!) Ah! little care I for wealth, favour, or fame, Gin I had my dear shepherd but safely at hame!
Then round out wee cot though gruff winter sould roar, And poortith glowr in like a wolf at the door; Though our toom purse had barely twa boddles to clink, And a barley-meal scone were the best on our bink, Yet, he wi' his hirsel, and I wi' my wheel, Through the howe o' the year we wad fen unco weel: Till the lintwhite, and laverock, and lambs bleating fain, Brought back the blythe time o' ewe-bughting again.
# The Book of Scottish Song/O the weary siller

O the weary siller.
O the weary siller! O the weary siller! Wha wad venture till her, That hadna got the siller? She's stately, proud, and shy, Disdains to speak to onie, But yet her distant eye Wad glitter at the money. O the weary silkr, &c.
You'd think her heart was cold, And never gave a flutter, But touch it with the gold, 'T wad melt like summer butter! O the weary siller, &c.
Ga'e tak' her for a wife, She'll wink at onie failing, And cuddle you through life, Sae lang's you keep your mailing. O the weary siller, &c.
But should your purse grow light, And fortune seek to shun ye, It's then you'll see her right, And the Lord ha'e mercy on ye! O the weary siller! O the weary siller! Wha wad venture till her, That hadna got the siller?

# The Book of Enoch (Charles)/Chapter 50
### L. The Glorification and Victory of the Righteous: the Repentance of the Gentiles.

CHAPTER L.
1. And in those days a change shall take place for the holy and elect,
And the light of days shall abide upon them,
And glory and honour shall turn to the holy,
2. On the day of affliction on which evil shall have been treasured up against the sinners.
And the righteous shall be victorious in the name of the Lord of Spirits:
And He will cause the others to witness (this)
That they may repent
And forgo the works of their hands.
3. They shall have no honour through the name of the Lord of Spirits,
Yet through His name shall they be saved,
And the Lord of Spirits will have compassion on them,
For His compassion is great.
4. And He is righteous also in His judgement,
And in the presence of His glory unrighteousness also shall not maintain itself:
At His judgement the unrepentant shall perish before Him.
5. And from henceforth I will have no mercy on them, saith the Lord of Spirits.
# The Book of Enoch (Charles)/Chapter 54

CHAPTER LIV.
1. And I looked and turned to another part of the earth, and saw there a deep valley with burning fire. 2. And they brought the kings and the mighty, and began to cast them into this deep valley. 3. And there mine eyes saw how they made these their instruments, iron chains of immeasurable weight. 4. And I asked the angel of peace who went with me, saying: ‘For whom are these chains being prepared?’ 5. And he said unto me: ‘These are being prepared for the hosts of Azâzêl, so that they may take them and cast them into the abyss of complete condemnation, and they shall cover their jaws with rough stones as the Lord of Spirits commanded.
6. And Michael, and Gabriel, and Raphael, and Phanuel shall take hold of them on that great day, and cast them on that day into the burning furnace, that the Lord of Spirits may take vengeance on them for their unrighteousness in becoming subject to Satan and leading astray those who dwell on the earth.’

### LIV. 7.-LV. 2. Noachic Fragment on the first World Judgement.

7. And in those days shall punishment come from the Lord of Spirits, and He will open all the chambers of waters which are above the heavens, and of the fountains which are beneath the earth. 8. And all the waters shall be joined with the waters: that which is above the heavens is the masculine, and the water which is beneath the earth is the feminine. 9. And they shall destroy all who dwell on the earth and those who dwell under the ends of the heaven. 10. And when they have recognized their unrighteousness which they have wrought on the earth, then by these shall they perish.’
# The Book of Enoch (Charles)/Chapter 49
### XLIX. The Power and Wisdom of the Elect One.

CHAPTER XLIX.
1. For wisdom is poured out like water,
And glory faileth not before him for evermore.
2. For he is mighty in all the secrets of righteousness,
And unrighteousness shall disappear as a shadow,
And have no continuance;
Because the Elect One standeth before the Lord of Spirits,
And his glory is for ever and ever,
And his might unto all generations.
3. And in him dwells the spirit of wisdom,
And the spirit which gives insight,
And the spirit of understanding and of might,
And the spirit of those who have fallen asleep in righteousness.
4. And he shall judge the secret things,
And none shall be able to utter a lying word before him;
For he is the Elect One before the Lord of Spirits according to His good pleasure.
# The Book of Enoch (Charles)/Chapter 53
### LIII—LIV. 6. The Valley of Judgement: the Angels of Punishment: the Communities of the Elect One.

CHAPTER LIII.
1. There mine eyes saw a deep valley with open mouths, and all who dwell on the earth and sea and islands shall bring to him gifts and presents and tokens of homage, but that deep valley shall not become full.
2. And their hands commit lawless deeds,
And the sinners devour all whom they lawlessly oppress:
Yet the sinners shall be destroyed before the face of the Lord of Spirits,
And they shall be banished from off the face of His earth,
And they shall perish for ever and ever.
3. For I saw all the angels of punishment abiding (there) and preparing all the instruments of Satan. 4. And I asked the angel of peace who went with me: ‘For whom are they preparing these instruments?’ 5. And he said unto me: ‘They prepare these for the kings and the mighty of this earth, that they may thereby be destroyed.
6. And after this the Righteous and Elect One shall cause the house of his congregation to appear: henceforth they shall be no more hindered in the name of the Lord of Spirits.
7. And these mountains shall not stand as the earth before his righteousness,
But the hills shall be as a fountain of water,
And the righteous shall have rest from the oppression of sinners.’
# The Book of Enoch (Charles)/Chapter 55

CHAPTER LV.
1. And after that the Head of Days repented and said: ‘In vain have I destroyed all who dwell on the earth.’ 2. And He sware by His great name: ‘Henceforth I will not do so to all who dwell on the earth, and I will set a sign in the heaven: and this shall be a pledge of good faith between Me and them for ever, so long as heaven is above the earth. And this is in accordance with My command.

### LV. 3-LVI. 4. Final Judgement of Azazel, the Watchers and their children.

3. When I have desired to take hold of them by the hand of the angels on the day of tribulation and pain because of this, I will cause My chastisement and My wrath to abide upon them, saith God, the Lord of Spirits. 4. Ye †mighty kings† who dwell on the earth, ye shall have to behold Mine Elect One, how he sits on the throne of glory and judges Azâzêl, and all his associates, and all his hosts in the name of the Lord of Spirits.’
# The Book of Enoch (Charles)/Chapter 57
### LVII. The Return from the Dispersion.

CHAPTER LVII.
1. And it came to pass after this that I saw another host of wagons, and men riding thereon, and coming on the winds from the east, and from the west to the south. 2. And the noise of their wagons was heard, and when this turmoil took place the holy ones from heaven remarked it, and the pillars of the earth were moved from their place, and the sound thereof was heard from the one end of heaven to the other, in one day. 3. And they shall all fall down and worship the Lord of Spirits. And this is the end of the second Parable.
# The Book of Enoch (Charles)/Chapter 52
### LII. The Seven Metal Mountains and the Elect One.

CHAPTER LII.
1. And after those days in that place where I had seen all the visions of that which is hidden—for I had been carried off in a whirlwind and they had borne me towards the west— 2. There mine eyes saw all the secret things of heaven that shall be, a mountain of iron, and a mountain of copper, and a mountain of silver, and a mountain of gold, and a mountain of soft metal, and a mountain of lead. 3. And I asked the angel who went with me, saying, ‘What things are these which I have seen in secret?’ 4. And he said unto me: ‘All these things which thou hast seen shall serve the dominion of His Anointed that he may be potent and mighty on the earth.’
5. And that angel of peace answered, saying unto me: ‘Wait a little, and there shall be revealed unto thee all the secret things which surround the Lord of Spirits.
6. And these mountains which thine eyes have seen,
The mountain of iron, and the mountain of copper, and the mountain of silver,
And the mountain of gold, and the mountain of soft metal, and the mountain of lead,
All these shall be in the presence of the Elect One
As wax before the fire,
And like the water which streams down from above [upon those mountains],
And they shall become powerless before his feet.
7. And it shall come to pass in those days that none shall be saved,
Either by gold or by silver,
And none be able to escape.
8. And there shall be no iron for war,
Nor shall one clothe oneself with a breastplate.
Bronze shall be of no service,
And tin [shall be of no service and] shall not be esteemed,
And lead shall not be desired.
9. And all these things shall be [denied and] destroyed from the surface of the earth,
When the Elect One shall appear before the face of the Lord of Spirits.’
# The Book of Enoch (Charles)/Chapter 48
### XLVIII. The Fount of Righteousness: the Son of Man—the Stay of the Righteous: Judgement of the Kings and the Mighty.

CHAPTER XLVIII.
1. And in that place I saw the fountain of righteousness
Which was inexhaustible:
And around it were many fountains of wisdom:
And all the thirsty drank of them,
And were filled with wisdom,
And their dwellings were with the righteous and holy and elect.
2. And at that hour that Son of Man was named
In the presence of the Lord of Spirits,
And his name before the Head of Days.
3. Yea, before the sun and the signs were created,
Before the stars of the heaven were made,
His name was named before the Lord of Spirits.
4. He shall be a staff to the righteous whereon to stay themselves and not fall,
And he shall be the light of the Gentiles,
And the hope of those who are troubled of heart.
5. All who dwell on earth shall fall down and worship before him,
And will praise and bless and celebrate with song the Lord of Spirits.
6. And for this reason hath he been chosen and hidden before Him,
Before the creation of the world and for evermore.
7. And the wisdom of the Lord of Spirits hath revealed him to the holy and righteous;
For he hath preserved the lot of the righteous,
Because they have hated and despised this world of unrighteousness,
And have hated all its works and ways in the name of the Lord of Spirits:
For in his name they are saved,
And according to his good pleasure hath it been in regard to their life.
8. In these days downcast in countenance shall the kings of the earth have become,
And the strong who possess the land because of the works of their hands,
For on the day of their anguish and affliction they shall not (be able to) save themselves.
9. And I will give them over into the hands of Mine elect:
As straw in the fire so shall they burn before the face of the holy:
As lead in the water shall they sink before the face of the righteous,
And no trace of them shall any more be found.
10. And on the day of their affliction there shall be rest on the earth,
And before them they shall fall and not rise again:
And there shall be no one to take them with his hands and raise them:
For they have denied the Lord of Spirits and His Anointed.
The name of the Lord of Spirits be blessed.
# The Book of Enoch (Charles)/Chapter 51
### LI. The Resurrection of the Dead, and the Separation by the Judge of the Righteous and the Wicked.

CHAPTER LI.
1. And in those days shall the earth also give back that which has been entrusted to it,
And Sheol also shall give back that which it has received,
And hell shall give back that which it owes.
5a. For in those days the Elect One shall arise,
2. And he shall choose the righteous and holy from among them:
For the day has drawn nigh that they should be saved.
3. And the Elect One shall in those days sit on My throne,
And his mouth shall pour forth all the secrets of wisdom and counsel:
For the Lord of Spirits hath given (them) to him and hath glorified him.
4. And in those days shall the mountains leap like rams,
And the hills also shall skip like lambs satisfied with milk,
And the faces of [all] the angels in heaven shall be lighted up with joy.
5b. And the earth shall rejoice,
c. And the righteous shall dwell upon it,
d. And the elect shall walk thereon.
