JOHN ANDERSON, MY JO.


John Anderson my jo, John,When we were first acquaint,Your locks were like the raven,Your bonny brow was brent;But now your brow is bald. John,Your locks are like the snaw:But blessings on your frosty pow,John Anderson my jo.
John Anderson my jo, John,We clamb the hill thegither,And mony a canty day, John,We’ve had wi’ ane anither;Now we maun totter down, John,But hand in hand we’ll goAnd sleep thegither at the foot,John Anderson my jo.

FINIS.
