Keep the country.
[This fragment is from Herd's collection, 1776. The tune is a well-known reel tune.]
Keep the country, bonnie lassie,
Keep the country, keep the country;
Keep the country, bonnie lassie;
Lads will a' gi'e gowd for ye:
Gowd for ye, bonnie lassie,
Gowd for ye, gowd for ye:
Keep the country, bonnie lassie;
Lads will a' gi'e gowd for ye.
