Song—Will Ye Go To The Indies, My Mary?
song—will ye go to the indies, my mary? tune—“will ye go to the ewe-bughts, marion.” will ye go to the indies, my mary, and leave auld scotia's shore? will ye go to the indies, my mary, across th' atlantic roar? o sweet grows the lime and the orange, and the apple on the pine; but a' the charms o' the indies can never equal thine. i hae sworn by the heavens to my mary, i hae sworn by the heavens to be true; and sae may the heavens forget me, when i forget my vow! o plight me your faith, my mary, and plight me your lily-white hand; o plight me your faith, my mary, before i leave scotia's strand. we hae plighted our troth, my mary, in mutual affection to join; and curst be the cause that shall part us! the hour and the moment o' time!
