 He's drawn his course where e'er he's gane.

his country he has fled o,

He's not left a shift upon her back,

Nor a blanket on her bed o,

The brewer he set up in Perth

and often brewed strong ale o,

and he has courted a bonny lass,

and taken her to his sell o.

Ye lovers all where'er ye be,

By me now take a warning,

and never slight your ain true love.

For fear you get a waur ane.

In Beith there lived a frail auld man.

His age was sixty-fiive an’ ten,

Wha took a break, whan near his en’

that he wad gang an’ marry:

The auld man that liv'd in Beith,

The aged man that dwall't in Beith,

The deein’ man that liv'd in Beith.

he wad gang try an' marry.
