HERE'S HIS HEALTH IN WATER!

TUNE—'THE JOB OF JOURNEY-WORK.'

Altho' my back be at the wa',And tho' he be the fautor;Altho' my back be at the wa',Yet, here's his health in water!O! wae gae by his wanton sides,Sae brawlie he could flatter;Till for his sake I'm slighted sair,And dree the kintra clatter.But tho' my back be at the wa',And tho' he be the fautor;But tho' my back be at the wa',Yet, here's his health in water!
