Proud Maisie

Lyrics

Proud Maisie is in the wood Walking so early Sweet Robin sits on the bush Singing so rarely "Tell me, thou bonny bird When shall I marry me?" "When six braw gentlemen Kirkward shall carry ye." "Who makes the bridal bed Birdie, say truly?" "The grey-headed sexton That delves the grave duly The glow-worm o'er grave and stone Shall light thee steady; The owl from the steeple sing `Welcome, proud lady.'"
