As you so freely give your store,
And you each other do adore,
Now take her Jack, here's as much more,
For you're a clever Sailor.
Now messmates we've got safe to port,
and I am happy married,
I hope my lads we'll have some sport,
And crown the day with claret;
My frigate she is rigged right,
With silks and rings most gay and bright,
And I shall show to you this night
I am a valiant Sailor.
A WIFE O' MY AIN.
Frae Clyde to the banks o' sweet Earn,
I've travel'd fu' mony lang mile,
But thoughts o' my dearest lass Annie,
The wearisome hours did beguile:
The happy wae night that we parted,
She vow'd she would constant remain
My heart-strings a' dirl'd wi' fondness,
I kiss'd and kiss'd her again.
