	Landlady, count the lawin, The day is near the dawin; Ye're a' blind drunk, boys, And I'm but jolly fou. Chorus. Hey tutti, taiti, How tutti, taiti, Hey tutti, taiti, Wha'sfou now?

	No. 228. A' the lads o' Thornie-bank. Tune: Ruffian's rant (see No. 239). A' the lads o' Thornie-bank, When they gae to the shore o' Bucky, They'll step in an' tak a pint Wi' Lady Onlie, honest lucky. Chorus. Lady Onlie, honest lucky, Brews guid ale at shore o' Bucky ; I wish her sale for her guid ale, The best on a' the shore o' Bucky. Her house sae bien, her curch sae clean— I wat she is a dainty chuckie, And cheery blinks the ingle-gleede O' Lady Onlie, honest lucky!
