Spake o' love—then in a jiffy,
gae consent to married be.
Keen was I to hae her courted,
keen was I to get her wed,
Keen to hae the bridal over,
but keener far to win ta bed.
Jenny now may gang and whistle,
Johnny's happy morn and e'en!
Constant love and steady virtue
adorn the heart o' bonny Jean.
JOHNNY's GREY BREEKS.
When I was in my se'enteenth year,
I wa baith blythe and bonny O!
The lads lo'ed me baith far and near,
but I lo'ed nane but Johnny O.
He gain'd my heart in twa three weeks,
he spak sae blyth and kindly O;
And I made him new grey breeks,
that fitted him most finely, O.
He was a handsome fellow,
his humour was baith frank and free,
His bonny locks sae yellow
like gowd they glitter'd in my ee!
