o that's the lassie o' my heart

tune—“morag.”

o wat ye wha that lo'es me

and has my heart a-keeping?

o sweet is she that lo'es me,

as dews o' summer weeping,

in tears the rosebuds steeping!

chorus—o that's the lassie o' my heart,

my lassie ever dearer;

o she's the queen o' womankind,

and ne'er a ane to peer her.

if thou shalt meet a lassie,

in grace and beauty charming,

that e'en thy chosen lassie,

erewhile thy breast sae warming,

had ne'er sic powers alarming;
