You’re welcome to Paxton—Robin Adair,

Your’e welcome to Paxton—Robin Adair,

How does Johnny Mackrill do,

Aye and Luke Gard’ner too,

Why did they not come with you, Robin Adair,

Come and sit down by me—Robin Adair,

Come and sit down by me—Robin Adair,

And welcome you shall be,

To every thing you see,

Why did they not come with you, Robin Adair

I will drink wine with you—Robin Adair,

I will drink wine with you-Robin Adair,

Rum punch aye or brandy too.

By my soul I’ll get drunk with you,

Why did they not come with you, Robin Adair.

Then let us drink about—Robin Adair,

Then let us drink about—Robin Adair

Till we’ve drank a hogshead out,

Then we’ll be fou nae doubt,

Why did they net come with you, Robin Adair.

Ye gods of love that rule above,

pity a maid that’s wounded
