Tune - "Laggan Burn." I. Here'S To Thy Health, My Bonnie Lass, Gude Night, And Joy Be Wi' Thee; I'll Come Na Mair To Thy Bower-Door, To Tell Thee That I Lo'E Thee. O Dinna Think, My Pretty Pink, But I Can Live Without Thee: I Vow And Swear I Dinna Care How Lang Ye Look About Ye. Ii. Thou'Rt Ay Sae Free Informing Me Thou Hast Na Mind To Marry; I'll Be As Free Informing Thee Nae Time Hae I To Tarry. I Ken Thy Friends Try Ilka Means, Frae Wedlock To Delay Thee; Depending On Some Higher Chance - But Fortune May Betray Thee. Iii. I Ken They Scorn My Low Estate, But That Does Never Grieve Me; But I'm As Free As Any He, Sma' Siller Will Relieve Me. I Count My Health My Greatest Wealth, Sae Long As I'll Enjoy It: I'll Fear Na Scant, I'll Bode Nae Want, As Lang'S I Get Employment. Iv. But Far Off Fowls Hae Feathers Fair, And Ay Until Ye Try Them: Tho' They Seem Fair, Still Have A Care, They May Prove Waur Than I Am. But At Twal At Night, When The Moon Shines Bright, My Dear, I'll Come And See Thee; For The Man That Lo'Es His Mistress Weel, Nae Travel Makes Him Weary.
