As I Gaed Ower yon High, High Hill- sung by Alexander Greig of Oldwhat, New Deer, Aberdeenshire.  Collected by Duncan about 1907, version F.

1. As I gaed ower yon high high hill,
I met a bonny lassie,
She looked at me and I at her
And oh, but she was saucy.
CHORUS Wi' my toorin an' a', a reedle a,
Fal the deiril addie, wi' my toorin an' a'.
