SWEET TIBBIE DUNBAR
Robert Burns
O wilt thou go wi' me, sweet Tibbie Dunbar?
O wilt thou go wi' me, sweet Tibbie Dunbar?
Wilt thou ride on a horse, or be drawn in a car,
Or walk by my side, O sweet Tibbie Dunbar?
I care na thy daddie, his lands and his money,
I care na thy kin, sae high and sae lordly;
But sae that thou'lt hae me for better for waur,
And come in thy coatie, sweet Tibbie Dunbar.
Footnote: The tune for this song 'Johnny McGill' was a favourite of
Robert Burns. The air derives its name from its composer John McGill,
a musician in Girvan, who wanted words as a vehicle for the
preservation of the tune. Robert Burns duly supplied the words in this
song.
