The Merry Muses of Caledonia/Supper is not Ready

by Robert Burns

SUPPER IS NOT READY.

Tune—"Clout the Cauldron."

This is an old fragment.

Roseberry to his Lady says,
My hinnie and my succar,
O shall we do the thing you ken?
Or shall we take our supper?

Fal lal, &c.

Wi' modest face, sae full of grace,
Reply'd his bonny Lady,
"My noble Lord, do as you please,
But supper is not ready."

Fal lal, &c.
