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.
