# Sweet Tibbie Dunbar

## Poem
O wilt thou go wi’ me, sweet Tibbie Dunbar?  
O wilt thou go wi’ me, sweet Tibbie Dunbar?  
Wilt thou ride on a horse, or be drawn in a car,  
Or walk by my side, O sweet Tibbie Dunbar?

I care na thy daddie, his lands and his money,  
I care na thy kin, sae high and sae lordly;  
But sae that thou’lt hae me for better for waur,  
And come in thy coatie, sweet Tibbie Dunbar.
