THE SONGS OF BURNS.
JAMIE, COME TRY ME.
TUNE—'JAMIE, COME TRY ME.'
CHORUS.
Jamie, come try me,Jamie, come try me;If thou would win my love,Jamie, come try me.
If thou should ask my love,Could I deny thee?If thou would win my love,Jamie, come try me.
If thou should kiss me, love,Wha could espy thee?If thou wad be my love,Jamie, come try me.Jamie, come try me,Jamie, come try me;If thou would win my love,Jamie, come try me.
LANDLADY, COUNT THE LAWIN.
TUNE—'HEY TUTTI, TAITI.'
Landlady, count the lawin,The day is near the dawin;Ye're a' blind drunk, boys,And I'm but jolly fou.Hey tutti, taiti,How tutti, taiti—Wha's fou now?
Cog an' ye were ay fou,Cog an' ye were ay fou,I wad sit and sing to youIf ye were ay fou.
Weel may ye a' be!Ill may we never see!God bless the King, boys,And the companie!Hey tutti, taiti,How tutti, taiti—Wha's fou now?
MY LOVE SHE'S BUT A LASSIE YET.
TUNE—'LADY BADINSCOTH'S REEL.'
My love she's but a lassie yet;My love she's but a lassie yet;We'll let her stand a year or twa,She'll no be half sae saucy yet.I rue the day I sought her, O,I rue the day I sought her, O;Wha gets her needs na say she's woo'd,But he may say he's bought her, O!
Come, draw a drap o' the best o't yet;Come, draw a drap o' the best o't yet;Gae seek for pleasure where ye will,But here I never miss'd it yet.We're a' dry wi' drinking o't,We're a' dry wi' drinking o't;The minister kiss'd the fiddler's wife,An' could na preach for thinkin' o't.
THE CAPTAIN'S LADY.
TUNE—'O MOUNT AND GO.'
CHORUS.O mount and go,Mount and make you ready;O mount and go,And be the Captain's Lady.
When the drums do beat,And the cannons rattle,Thou shalt sit in state,And see thy love in battle.
When the vanquish'd foeSues for peace and quiet,To the shades we'll go,And in love enjoy it.
O mount and go,Mount and make you ready;O mount and go,And be the Captain's Lady.
