O, you're braw wi' your pearls and your diamonds,
You've routh o' a' thing, you may say,

And they're a' in praise o' your een, Kate;
'Od, lassie what mair wad you hae?
Your een, sae blue and sae bonny,
Have plagued me till I am fey;
'Deed, I hardly think I can live, Kate:
'Od, lassie, what mair wad you hae?
