O what needs a' this pride lassie,
O what needs a' this pride,
To wear your best clothes ev'ry day,
and what when you're a bride.
O what needs a' this pride,
To wear your best clothes ev'ry day,
and what when you're a bride.
Some think their maiden-head will spoil,
before young men come near man,
It's pain to keep, it's like a boil,
'tis duty them to clear man.
O hute awa' wi' pride lassie,
O hute awa' wi' pride,
It's that, that makes young men go by,
they'll no mak you their bride.

So all young men that want a wife,
take warning by their look man,
Love not a lass that casts her head,
about like a game cock man.
O well I know I their eye lassie,
O well know I their eye,
They'll vex a man and chap his pan,
his head they'll hornifie

So beware when Maggy Idle comes,
a fooling to the fair man,
If you incline she will resign,
the whole use of her ware man.
And she draw you on laddie,
and she draw you on,
She'll burn you wi' her merry bit,
and then you'll sigh and moan.
