And the version of that verse that I learned....

"Gin ye would be wad wi me"
Blaw, blaw, blaw winds blaw
"There is somethin ye mon do for me"
And the winds will blaw my plaid awa

"Ye maun mak me a linen sark"
Blaw, blaw, blaw winds blaw
"Withoot a seam or needle wark"
And the winds will blaw my plaid awa
