 But tho' your pure be blank an' hollow,

Its hard to ay yet what may be done,

But after a' ye're a canty fellow,

Tho' no ae rich as ye wad eem.

Sae tak your plaid about you Johnny,

Sae come your was up by at een,

I like a lad that's brik and bonny,

Tho' no ae rich as ye wad eem.

I have bought a loom, my laie in ummer,

Altho he be old he is hard at the beam,

Four and twenty years ye may ride on the limmer,

Ye thought I was poor but your‘e fairly mitain.

A hugar an fat for want of a bakey.

It lies beyont the fire on a tane,

A 'tatoe beetle for a' your joking,

Ye thought I was poor but you're fairly mitane.

Am a roving bachelor,

and has been all my life,
