Frae gills to half-mutchkins when ance they're begun,
Then Teddy, when ance they are fair on the RUN.
O! wad they be wise, like our "Johnie and me,
An drink naething stronger than Coffee or Tea,
The strongest he drinks now, &c."
A Highland Laddie heard of War.
A Highland Laddie heard of War,
Which set his heart in motion,
He heard the distant cannon roar—
He saw the smiling ocean.
Come weal, come woe, to sea he'd go,
And left, on a morning early,
Lochlomond Ben, and the willow glen,
And Jenny that loved him dearly.
He wandered east, he wandered south,
But joy he could not find it,
But he found out this wholesome truth,
And had the sense to mind it.
Of a the earth, the bonny North,
To cherish, late and early;
Lochlomond Ben, and the willow glen,
And Jenny that loved him dearly.
