I Love My Love In Secret
My Sandy gied to me a ring,
Was a' beset wi' diamonds fine;
But I gied him a far better thing,
I gied my heart in pledge o' his ring.
My Sandy O, my Sandy O,
My bonie , bonie Sandy O;
Tho' the love that I owe
To thee I dare na show,
Yet I love my love in secret, my Sandy O.
My Sandy brak a piece o' gowd ,
While down his cheeks the saut tears row'd;
He took a hauf , and gied it to me,
And I'll keep it till the hour I die.
My Sandy O, my Sandy O,
My bonie , bonie Sandy O;
Tho' the love that I owe
To thee I dare na show,
Yet I love my love in secret,
My Sandy O, &c.
