I ve bills an' ban's on lairds an' lan's

An' muckle mair than a' that.
An' muckle mair than a' that;
What want I now my bonny dow,
but juſt a wife to a' that ?

Now, Jenny dear my errand here.
is to ſeek you to a that;
My heart's a lowpin' whan I ſpeer
gin ye'll tak me wi a' that?

Come, gi'e's your loof to be a proof
That ye ll tak me wi' a' that.

Syne Jenny lad her nive in his;

An' he gae her a hearty kiſs,

They ſet the day an' a' that,
When ſhe'd come hame to be his dame,
an ha'e a rant wi' a' that.
