THE HAPPY TRIO.
TUNE—'WILLIE BREW'D A PECK O' MAUT.'
O, Willie brew'd a peck o' maut,And Rob and Allan cam to pree;Three blither hearts, that lee-lang night,Ye wad na find in Christendie.
CHORUS.We are na fou, we're no that fou,But just a drappie in our ee;The cock may craw, the day may daw,And aye we'll taste the barley bree.
Here are we met, three merry boys,Three merry boys I trow are we;And monie a night we've merry been,And monie mae we hope to be!We are na fou, &c.
It is the moon, I ken her horn,That's blinkin in the lift sae hie;She shines sae bright to wyle us hame,But by my sooth she'll wait a wee!We are na fou, &c.
Wha first shall rise to gang awa,A cuckold, coward loun is he!Wha first beside his chair shall fa',He is the King amang us three!We are na fou, &c.
