KISS'D YESTREEN by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "KISS'D YESTREEN, AND KISS'D YESTREEN"
Last Line: SIC KINDLY KISSES AS HE GAE ME
Subject(s): KISSES;LOVE;

Kiss'd yestreen, and kiss'd yestreen,
Up the Gallowgate, down the Green.
I've woo'd wi' lords, and woo'd wi' lairds,
I've mool'd wi' carles and mell'd wi' cairds,
I've kiss'd wi' priests -- 'twas done i' the dark,
Twice in my gown and thrice in my sark.
But priest nor lord nor loon can gie
Sic kindly kisses as he gae me.
