Burns' Popular Songs/Oh, Willie Brewed

​

Oh, Willie Brewed.

Oh, Willie brewed a peek o' maut,And Rob and Allan cam to pree:Three blither hearts that lee-lang night,Ye wadna find in Christendie.We are nae fu', we're no that fa',But just a drappie in our e'e;The 'cock may eraw, the day may daw,And aye we'll taste the barley bree.
Here are we met, three merry boys,Three merry boys, I trow, are we;And mony a night we've merry been,And mony mae we hope to be!
It is the moon, I ken her horns,That's blinkin' in the lift sae hie;She shines sae bright to wile us hame,But, by my sooth, she'll wait a wee!
Wha first shall rise to gang awa',A cuekold, eoward loon is he!Wha last beside his chair shall fa',He is the king amang us three!
