O GIN I WERE A BARON'S HEIR. AKA - "Gin I were a Baron's Heir," "Lassie would ye lo'e me." Scottish, Air and Guaracha Waltz. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. A song with lyrics by William Holder, music by Joseph William Holder (1785-1823).
Oh, gin I were a baron's heir,
And could I braid wi' gems your hair,
And make ye braw as ye are fair,
Lassie, would ye lo'e me?
And could I tak' ye to the town,
And show ye braw sights many a ane,
And busk ye fine in silken gown,
Lassie, would ye lo'e me?
