Page:My Nanie o.pdf/3

Rh The opening gowan wat wi’ dew nae purer is than Nanie, O.

A country lad is my degree, and few there be that ken me O. But what care I how few there be, I’m welcome ay to Nanie O.

My riches, a’s my penny fee, and I maun guide it cannie, O But warl’s gear ne’er troubles me. My thoughts are a’ my Nanie, O.

Our auld gudeman delights to view, his ſheep and kye thrive bonny, O; But I’m as blythe that hands his hishis [sic] pleugh, And has nae care but Nanie, O.

Come weel, come wae, I carena by, I’ll tak what haven will ſend me, O. Nae ither care in life hae’t, But live and love my Name, O.
