Gin I Were a Human Man
to the tune of "O Gin I Were a Baron's Heir," Trad.


Oh gin I were a human man,
And could I take ye by your hand,
And bring you full into my clan,
Lassie, would ye love me?

And could I take you on the town,
Dressed up in your finest gown,
And dance until the sun went down,
Lassie, for I love thee.

And the hour came 'round to be,
I'd ask ye to belong to me,
We'd vow to love eternally,
Oh lassie, do ye love me?

But I am not a human born,
Nor can I wake to see the morn,
And so our lives remain forlorn,
Oh lassie, but I love thee.
