Summary
In this song the bard says that his beloved is the young brown-haired girl. He gave her his love when he was just young. He doesn't want to let her go milking for fear of the other boys and the herdsmen. At the end of the song he says that Mary Nicolson is the fairest person.
Item Notes
This song seems to be a variation of the original by Duncan Bàn MacIntyre, although the final line as sung here is from Duncan Bàn's song.
