She's bonny, blooming, straight and tall,
And lang has had my heart in thrall;
And ay it charms my very saul,
The kind love that's in her ee.
  O this is no, &c.

A thief sae pawkie is my Jean,
To steal a blink by a' unseen;
But gleg as light are lovers een,
When kind love is in the ee.
  O this is no, &c.

It may escape the courtly sparks,
It may escape the learned clarks;
But weel the watching lover marks
The kind love that's in her ee.
  O this is no, &c.


BLACK-EYED SUSAN.

All in the Downs the fleet was moor'd,
The streamers waving in the wind,
When black-eyed Susan came on board,
Oh where shall I my true-love find?
Tell me, ye jovial sailors, tell me true,
If my sweet William sails among your crew?
