See yonder pawkie shepherd, that lingers on the hill,
His ewes are in the fauld, and his lambs are lying still
Yet he downa gang to bed for his heart is in a flame,
To meet his bonnie lassie, when the kye come hame.
His ewes are in the fauld, and his lambs are lying still
Yet he downa gang to bed for his heart is in a flame,
To meet his bonnie lassie, when the kye come hame.
Awa wi' fame and fortune—what comfort can they gi'e?—
And a' the arts that prey upon man's life and liberty
Gi'e me the highest joy that the heart o' man can frame,—
My bonnie bonnie lassle when the kye come hame!

The Boatie Rows.
O weel may the boatie row,
and better may she speed,
And liesome may the boatie row,
that wins the bairns bread:
The boatie rows the boatie rows,
the boatie rows fu' weel;
Muckle luck attends the boat,
the murlain and the creel.

O weel may the boatie row
that fills a heavy ereel,
And cleeds us a' frae tap to tae,
and buys onr parritch meal.
The boatie rows the boatie rows,
the boatie rows indeed;
And happy be the lot of a'
that wish the boatie speed.
