Wha Is That at My Bower Door? Songtext
von Jean Redpath

Wha is that at my bower-door?"
"O wha is it but Findlay!"
"Then gae your gate, ye′se nae be here:"
"Indeed maun I," quo' Findlay;
"What mak′ ye, sae like a thief?"
"O come and see," quo' Findlay;
"Before the morn ye'll work mischief:"
"Indeed will I," quo′ Findlay.


"Gif I rise and let you in"-
"Let me in," quo′ Findlay;
"Ye'll keep me waukin wi′ your din;"
"Indeed will I," quo' Findlay;
"In my bower if ye should stay"-
"Let me stay," quo′ Findlay;
"I fear ye'll bide till break o′ day;"
"Indeed will I," quo' Findlay.

"Here this night if ye remain"-
"I'll remain," quo′ Findlay;
"I dread ye′ll learn the gate again;"
"Indeed will I," quo' Findlay.
"What may pass within this bower"-
"Let it pass," quo′ Findlay;
"Ye maun conceal till your last hour:"
"Indeed will I," quo' Findlay.
