Baron's Heir + Sadenia's Air - Eddi Reader

O gin I were a baron’s heir

And I could braid gems in my hair

I’d be as braw as ye are fair

Laddie would you love me

And I would take you to the toun

And show you braw sights, manys a wan

And I would wear a silken gown

Oh, laddie would you love me

Oh should you be content I’ll prove in lowly life unfading love

A heart that none on earth can move

Oh, laddie would you love me

And ere the laverock wings the sky

Would you unto the forest hie

And live with me until we die

Oh, laddie would you love me

And when the braw moon glistens o’er

Our lonesome bield and heathery mair

Will you no greet that we’re so poor

Oh laddie for I love thee

For I have nought to offer thee

No gold from mine nor pearl from sea

Nor do I come fae high degree

Oh, laddie how I love thee

Ah, would you come and marry me

Oh, laddie would you love me
