( 6 ) Be pleas’d to marry your lassie,

O marry your lassie to me!

For I’ m resolv'd to hae her,

whether she live or die ;

Whether she live or die,

to mak her my wedded wife :

So I’ll live with my lassie

a sweet and contented life.





JENNY LASS, My BONNY BIRD.

[BY BURNS.]

ENNY, lass, my bonny bird,

My father’s dead, and a’ that,

And snugly laid aneath the yeard,

An’ i’m his heir, an’ a’ that:

I’m now a laird, an’ a’ that,

I’m now a laird, an' a’ that

I’ve gear an’ lan’ at my comman’,

An’ muckle mair than a’ that.

He left me, wi’ his diein’ breath,

A dwelling-house, an’ a’ that;

Guid byars an’ barns, an’ wabs o’ claith;

A guid peat-stack, an’ a’ that:

A mare, a foal, an’ a’ that,

A mare, a foal, an’ a’ that;

Sax guid milk ky, a ca’f forby;
