I don't think cawing your pirns, yell ay be grain, and ay at hame 1 don't ye ve lloun your tents of yarn : you're no sae rich as ye wad seem For a your mug and stinking sowen, I rather wad hae a cogfu'o team: Commend me to a lad that has a growing: ye're no faa rich as ye wad seem. I saw the pot ya got from Holland, reamiag wi wash a-hint your loom. To lay the touxie hair on the plaiden, ye're no fae rich as ye wad seem. A spurtle Johnny, in easy gotten, Ony bit flick may do that's clean; But what's the meal to make the brose Ye're no fae rich lad at ye wad frem. Your buggar an fa't in black and rocker, Wad poison a low, it's far frae clean: Au wha wad marry a man for a jacket, Your no fa rich as we wad seem. Ye brag me wi' the half of your berrin But I could eat a heal ane myself I doubt, your livin'll be but sharin : Ye're no fae rich as ye wad seem, About your bassen I'll say but little; But what's in the kill I sain (illegible text) I doubt, I doubt it's a dry's a white; Ye're no rica as ye wad seem, But tho your purse be blank an ho low, It's hard to say yet what may be done: But after a you've a canty fellow, Tho'no fae rich a [[illegible}} seem. Sae tak your plaid about you. Johnny, Sae come your was up-by at cen: I like a lad that's brist and bonny, Tho' no fae rich as he wad seem
