( 7 ) THE BARLEY-BREE.

Tune—Willie brew'd a peek o' maut.

drunkards ing in praie of wine,

their midnights bails and facial glee;

But Scotin's ons may idge u fain,

while they have rowln o' barley bree.

French-brandy is but trah, ume fa't;

their foreign rum I downa prie;

Gle me the terling pith o' maut,

abocu them a' it bears the gree.

The workman wha has toil' d all day,

its dawn at night frae t'about free;

See care is fled—his mile how gay,

whan owre a pint o' barly-bree;

French-brandy, &c.

Gif onie ane in barlock hood,

hould wr' his neibour diagree,

Let them baith gang in

and barley-bree French-brandy &c.
