MY LOVE SHE'S BUT A LASSIE YET
Robert Burns

My love she’s but a lassie yet,
My love she’s but a lassie yet,
We’ll let her stand a year or twa,
She’ll no be half sae saucy yet
I rue the day I sought her, O,
I rue the say I sought her, O,
Wha gets her needs na say she’s woo’d
But he may say he’s bought her, O!

Come, draw a drap o’ the best o’t yet;
Come, draw a drap o’ the best o’t yet;
Gae seek for pleasure where ye will,
But here I never miss’d it yet.
We’re a’ dry wi’ drinking o’t,
We’re a’ dry wi’ drinking o’t,
The minister kiss’d the fiddler’s wife,
An’ could na preach for thinkin’ o’t.

Footnote:  Another title and snatch of an older song which was rescued thanks to the skill of Robert Burns and turned into a song still very popular over 200 years on.
