song—heres to thy health(1 / 2)

song—here's to thy health

tune—“an burn.”

here's to thy health, my boniess,

gude nicht and joy be wi' thee;

i'll e nae mair to thy bower-door,

to tell thee that i lo'e thee.

o dinna think, my pretty pink,

but i can live without thee:

i vow and swear i dinna care,

howng ye look about ye.

thou'rt aye sae free informing me,

thou hast nae mind to marry;

i'll be as free informing thee,

nae time hae i to tarry:

i ken thy frien's try ilka means

frae wedlock to dy thee;

depending on some higher chance,

but fortune may betray thee.
