Wha fain wad gang wi' you.
But I am just a serving lass, Wha toils to get her breid, An' O! ye're sweir to see the gowd I braid about my heid. My cheek is like the brier rose, That scents the simmer wind, An fine I'd keep the wee bit hoose, 'Gin I'd a man to mind! It's sair to see, when ilka lad Is dreamin' o' his joe, The bonnie mear that leads yer team Is a' ye're thinkin' o'. Like fire upon her satin coat Ye gar the harness shine, But, lad, there is a safter licht In thae twa een o' mine! Aye--wark yer best--but youth is short, An' shorter ilka year-- There's ane wad gar ye sune forget Yon limmer o' a mear! |
