Gane is the day, and mirk's the night, But we'll ne'er stray for faut o' light, For ale and brandy's stars and moon, And blude-red wine 's the' rysin sun.
Chorus. Then, gudewife, count the lawin, The lawin, the lawin; Then, gudewife, count the lawin, And bring a coggie mair.
There's wealth and ease for gentlemen, And simple folk maun fecht and fen'; But here we're a' in ae accord, For ilka man that's drunk's a lord.
My coggie is a haly pool,
That heals the wounds o' care and dool,
And pleasure is a wanton trout:
And ye drink it a', ye'll find him out! |
||
No. 243. Come, bumpers high! express your joy !
Tune : Y^re welcome Charlie Stewart (see No. 26).
Chorus. You're welcome, Willie Stewart! You're welcome, Willie Stewart! There's ne'er a flpw'r that blooms in May, That's half sae welcome's thou art! |
