Sic a wife as Johnny had,
I wadna gi'e a button for her.
I wadna gi'e a button for her.
Johnny was ance half in love,
His fancy was by beauty haunted;
Heaven shone in Johnny's ee.
But no the beauty Johnny wanted.
Far Johnny courted Lizie Painch
'Cause Lizie Painch she had the siller,
But sic a wife as Lizie Painch,
I wadna gie a button for her.
His fancy was by beauty haunted;
Heaven shone in Johnny's ee.
But no the beauty Johnny wanted.
Far Johnny courted Lizie Painch
'Cause Lizie Painch she had the siller,
But sic a wife as Lizie Painch,
I wadna gie a button for her.
Lizie's face was like the moon,
Her shouther's maist as braid as Samsons;
Her very picture's like the sign,
That hings aboon auld Robin Tamson's.
But de'il a prin does Johnny care,
Were Lizie like the witch of Endor;
Johnny fasten's on her gear,
He wadna gie a button for her.
Her shouther's maist as braid as Samsons;
Her very picture's like the sign,
That hings aboon auld Robin Tamson's.
But de'il a prin does Johnny care,
Were Lizie like the witch of Endor;
Johnny fasten's on her gear,
He wadna gie a button for her.
FINIS.
