The Mauchline Lady: A Fragment

by Robert Burns, 1784

When first I came to Stewart Kyle,
  My mind it was na steady;
Where'er i gaed, where'er I rade,
  A mistress still I had aye.

But when I came roun' by Mauchline toun,
  Not dreadin anybody,
My heart was caught, before I thought,
  And by a Mauchline lady.
