Highland plaid (2)/The Girl O' My Heart

THE GIRL OF MY HEART.

⁠⁠I have parks, I have grounds,
⁠⁠I have deer, I have hounds,
And for sporting a neat little cottage,
⁠⁠I have youth I have wealth,
⁠⁠I have strength, I have wealth,
Yet I mop like a beau in his dottage,
What can I want?-’Tis the girl of my heart,
⁠To share those treasures with me,
For had I the wealth which the Indies impart,
⁠No pleasure would it give me,
Without the lovely girl of my heart.
The sweet lovely girl of my heart.

⁠⁠My domain far extends,
⁠⁠And sustains social friends,
Who make music divinely enchanting;

⁠⁠We have balls, we have plays,
⁠⁠We have routs, public days,
And yet still I find something is wanting
What should it be but the girl of my heart,
⁠To share those treasures with me!
For had I the wealth which the Indies impart,
⁠No pleasure would it give me,
Without the lovely girl of my heart,
Then give me the girl of my heart.
