An kilted wee-skirt sae-sae smert an neat,
Gif ye me seen wud care to meet,

O Johnny lad pleese bide a wee,
An thenks for a' thase couthie wirds tae me,
Bit I've ne'er hud a thocht to see
A gowk like's o' ye nar the trystin tree !

O Jessie wi' yer braw pairly fite broo;
Yer chiks aye-sae smeeth an yer een sae blue;

Ilk mornin, nicht, an in the gloamin too.

Fur if ye'd ony thochts o' fit maks luv braw,
Ye wadna staun' sae far awa,
As gif tappin' me micht kittle Pa !

O Jessie, quine, ma luv it is true,

An seen I'll dit yer sanshach mou,
An narhan I'll tak a' yer breith awa !

An kisses I wull gledly noo gie tae ye;
Guid sakes I ken ye'll like the pree,
An wint them ilk nicht an ilk mornin tee !

Fur seen we'll be jimpin heich ow'r the broom;
In daylicht syne we'll ca the loom,
Bit mak luv ilk nicht in oor ain wee room !
