First Line: O, YOU'RE BRAW WI' YOUR PEARLS AND YOUR DIAMONDS
Last Line: OD, LASSIE, WHAT MAIR WAD YOU HAE?
Subject(s): LOVE; SCOTTISH TRANSLATIONS;
O, you're braw wi' your pearls and your diamonds,
You've routh o' a' thing, you may say,
And there's nane has got bonnier een, Kate:
'Od, lassie, what mair wad you hae?
I've written a hantle o' verses,
That'll live till the Hendmost Day;
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?
