My Love, She's But a Lassie Yet

My love, she’s but a lassie yet,
My love, she’s but a lassie yet!
We’ll let her stand a year or twa,
She’ll no be half sae saucy yet!
 
I rue the day I sought her, O!
I rue the day I sought her, O!
Wha gets her need na say he’s woo’d,
But he may say he has bought her, O.
 
Come draw a drap o’ the best o’t yet,
Come draw a drap o’ the best o’t yet!
Gae seek for pleasure whare ye will,
But here I never miss’d it yet.
 
We’re a’dry wi’ drinkin o’t,
We’re a’dry wi’ drinkin o’t!
The minister kiss’t the fiddler’s wife—
He could na preach for thinkin o’t!
