WE WERE VERY POOR TOGETHER

ny W. ". F0SDICk,
We were very poor together, Mary,
A wee small cot was mine
Two cows alone were all thy dairy,
In happy days lang syne.
AT morn, it was 50 happy then
To tread the mount and moor;
At eve, to clasp thee once again,
When we were very poor,
Oft the castle on the hill was glowing
With many window bright,
And many crystal cup flowing
With ruby wine by night.
But on the heath our little cot
Sat hidden dark and damp:
But was happy with my lot.
For Mary was my lamp,
| have gained the golden gear and sorrow;
Pve world of wealth and woe,
But no eye awaits me on the morrow
Like the one | used to know.
o, give me back my wee wife,
Ny small cot on the moor,
For JOY has left me lone in life
Since we were very poor
