Pull away, gallant boys! We ne'er brook'd a foreign yoke, Pull away! Here we go upon the deep, Pull away, gallant boys! O'er the ocean let us sweep, Pull away! Round the earth our glory rings, At the thought my bosom springs, That whene'er our pennant swings, Pull away, gallant boys! Of the ocean we 're the kings, Pull away! O, SAW YE THIS SWEET BONNY LASSIE O' MINE? O, saw ye this sweet bonny lassie o' mine, Or saw ye the smile on her cheek sae divine; Or saw ye the kind love that speaks in her e'e? Sure naebody e'er was so happy as me! It 's no that she dances sae light on the green, It 's no the simplicity mark'd in her mien; But O, it 's the kind love that speaks in her e'e, That makes me as happy as happy can be. To meet her alane 'mang the green leafy trees, When naebody kens, an' when naebody sees; To breathe out the soul of a saft melting kiss-- On earth here there 's naething is equal to this! I have felt every bliss which the soul can enjoy, When friends circled round me, and nought to annoy; I have felt every joy that illumines the breast, When the full flowing bowl is most warmly caress'd: But O, there 's a sweet and a heavenly charm In life's early day, when the bosom is warm; When soul meets wi' soul in a saft melting kiss-- On earth sure there 's naething is equal to this!

Tat year tey foucht the Sherra-muir, She first peheld te licht, man; Tey shot my father in tat stoure-- A plaguit, vexin' spite, man. I 've feucht in Scotland here at hame, In France and Shermanie, man; And cot tree tespurt pluddy oons, Beyond te 'Lantic sea, man. But wae licht on te nasty cun, Tat ever she pe porn, man; Phile koot klymore te tristle caird, Her leaves pe never torn, man. Ae tay I shot, and shot, and shot, Phane'er it cam my turn, man; Put a' te force tat I could gie, Te powter wadna purn, man. A filty loon cam wi' his cun, Resolvt to to me harm, man; And wi' te tirk upon her nose, Ke me a pluddy arm, man. I flang my cun wi'
