Elegy on Peg Nicholson

The works of Robert Burns

Available for over a year

Peg Nicholson was a good bay mare, As ever trod on airn; But now she's floating down the Nith, And past the Mouth o' Cairn. Peg Nicholson was a good bay mare, And rode thro' thick and thin; But now she's floating down the Nith, And wanting even the skin. Peg Nicholson was a good bay mare, And ance she bore a priest; But now she's floating down the Nith, For Solway fish a feast. Peg Nicholson was a good bay mare, An' the priest he rode her sair ; And much oppress'd and bruis'd she was, As priest-rid cattle are.
