A GIRL'S A GIRL FOR A' THAT, by                    
First Line: A girl's a girl for a' that
Last Line: A girl's a girl for a' that
Subject(s): Girls


Is there a lady in the land
That boasts her rank and a' that?
With scornful eye we pass her by,
And little care for a' that:
For Nature's charm shall bear the palm, --
A girl's a girl for a' that.

What though her neck with gems she deck,
With folly's gear and a' that,
And gayly ride in pomp and pride?
We can dispense with a' that:
An honest heart acts no such part, --
A girl's a girl for a' that.

The nobly born may proudly scorn
A lowly lass and a' that;
A pretty face has far more grace
Than haughty looks and a' that;
A bonnie maid needs no such aid, --
A girl's a girl for a' that.

Then let us trust that come it must,
And sure it will for a' that,
When faith and love, all arts above,
Shall reign supreme and a' that;
And every youth confess the truth, --
A girl's a girl for a' that.
