if thou hadst heard her talking,

and thy attention's plighted,

that ilka body talking,

but her, by thee is slighted,

and thou art all delighted;

o that's thessie, c.

if thou hast met this fair one,

when frae her thou hast parted,

if every other fair one

but her, thou hast deserted,

and thou art broken-hearted,

o that's thessie o' my heart,

myssie ever dearer;

o that's the queen o' womankind,

and ne'er a ane to peer her.
