But callants baith, tak tent, and when
Bright e'en hae won ye,
Tak each your jo—and keep her—then
Be faithful' as ye 're fond, ye ken,
Or—gang your gate like honest men,
Young Jim and Johnnie.
Bright e'en hae won ye,
Tak each your jo—and keep her—then
Be faithful' as ye 're fond, ye ken,
Or—gang your gate like honest men,
Young Jim and Johnnie.
Sae when auld Time his crookit claw
Sail lay upon ye,
When, Jim, your feet that dance sae braw
Are no the lightest in the ha',
An' a' your curly haffets fa',
My winsome Johnnie,—
Sail lay upon ye,
When, Jim, your feet that dance sae braw
Are no the lightest in the ha',
An' a' your curly haffets fa',
My winsome Johnnie,—
May each his ain warm ingle view,
Cosie as ony:
A gudewife sonsie, leal and true,
0' bonnie dochters not a few,
An' lads—sic lads as ye're the noo—
Dear Jim and Johnnie!
