 3 A house that is canty wi’ plenishin’ plenty, Without them ye never need come for to woo?

I hae nae gowd to busk ye ay gaudy, Nor yet buy you ribbons enew.. I brag nae o’ house nor o’ plenty, But I hae a heart that is true. I came nae for tocher, I ne’er heard o’ ony, Never lo'ed Peggy,nor e'er brak my vow, I've wander'd poor fool, for a face fause as bonny I little thought this was the way for to woo.

Hae na ye roo'sd my red cheeks like the morning, An’ roo'sd up my cherry red mou; Ye’ve come o’er the sea, muir, and mountain, What mair Johnny need you to woo: An’ far hae ye wander'd I ken my dear laddie, Now ye hae faund me, ye've nae cause to rue Wi’ health we'll hae plenty, I'll never gang gaudy I ne’er wish’d for mair than a heart that is true.

 

O dinna think bonny lassie I’m gaun to leave you Dinna think bonny lassie I’m gaun to leave you, Dinna think bonny lassie I’m gaun to leave you, I'll tak a stick into my hand an’ come again an’ see you.
