 See care is tied—his smile how gay,

When owre a pint o‘ barley bree.

French brandy &c.

Gif onie ane in barlock-hood,

Should wi‘ his neibour disagree;

Let them baith gang in jovial mood,

And settled owe the barley bree.

French brandy &c.

For harley drink wad they but think,

It’s cheaper than a lawyers fees;

Though sairly vext ay mind the text,

‘ It's hest to tak a pint and gree.'

French brandy Rec.

I've seen a child could hardly speak,

When not a drap was in his ee;

But he could lecture for a week,

Just gie him ay the whisky, free.

French brandy &e.

Whan I’ve a baubee in my pouch,

I aften birl it frank and free;

Then care can never mak me crouch;

The life of man is barley bree.

French brandy &c.
