song—here's to thy health

tune—“laggan burn.”

here's to thy health, my bonie lass,

gude nicht and joy be wi' thee;

i'lle 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,

how lang 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 delay thee;

depending on some higher chance,
