O Let Me Aff This Ae Time

I am a chief of the McCraws,
Knew nothing of your Lowland laws,
Which of my stealing was the cause,
But I'll not steal again, Sir.
O let me aff this ae time,
This ae time, this ae time,
O let me aff this ae time,
I'll never steal again, Sir.

A fencible I'll guard at home,
Or on the seas a sailor roam,
Even common soldier I'll become,
Or else what you incline, Sir.
O let me aff this ae time,
This ae time, this ae time,
O let me aff this ae time,
I'll never steal again, Sir.
