Compar'd wi' Tullochgorum,
Let wardly minds themſelves oppreſs,
Wi' fear of want and double ceſs,
And ſilly ſauls themſelves diſtreſs,
We' keeping up decorum;
Shall we ſo ſour and ſulky ſit
Sour and ſulky, ſour and ſulky;
Shall we ſae ſour and ſulky, fit
Like auld Philoſophorum
Shall we ſae ſour and fulky fit,
Wi' neither ſenſe, nor mirth, nor wit
And canna riſe to ſhake a ſit
At the reel of Tullochgorum.
May choiceſt bleſſings ſtill attend,
Each honeſt hearted open friend,
And calm and quiet be his end,
Be a' that's good before him;
May Peace and plenty be his lot,
Peace and plenty, peace and plenty;
May peace and plenty be his lot
And dainties a great ſtore o'em
May peace and plenty be his lot,
Unſtained by any vicious blot;
And may he never want a groat
That's fond of Tullochgorum.
But for the diſconted fool,
Who wants to be oppreſſion's tool,
Let wardly minds themſelves oppreſs,
Wi' fear of want and double ceſs,
And ſilly ſauls themſelves diſtreſs,
We' keeping up decorum;
Shall we ſo ſour and ſulky ſit
Sour and ſulky, ſour and ſulky;
Shall we ſae ſour and ſulky, fit
Like auld Philoſophorum
Shall we ſae ſour and fulky fit,
Wi' neither ſenſe, nor mirth, nor wit
And canna riſe to ſhake a ſit
At the reel of Tullochgorum.
May choiceſt bleſſings ſtill attend,
Each honeſt hearted open friend,
And calm and quiet be his end,
Be a' that's good before him;
May Peace and plenty be his lot,
Peace and plenty, peace and plenty;
May peace and plenty be his lot
And dainties a great ſtore o'em
May peace and plenty be his lot,
Unſtained by any vicious blot;
And may he never want a groat
That's fond of Tullochgorum.
But for the diſconted fool,
Who wants to be oppreſſion's tool,
