Not For Sale
by Alexander Scott

Listen to this in Real Audio read by Marilyn P Wright

What d'ye lack? What d'ye lack?
Corn for yir belly, claes for yir back?
Buy and tak, buy and tak.

What d'ye need? What d'ye need?
Smeddum for glory, siller for greed?
Pick yir meed, pick yir meed.

What'll ye wale? What'll ye wale?
Lasses to splore wi, limmers to skail?
Bid for sale, bid for sale.

What wad ye hain? What wad ye hain?
Hope that'll haud ye, faith to sustain?
Find yir ain, find yir ain.
