They're douſſ and dowie, art the beſt,
Douſſ and dowie.
Douſſ and dowie.
They’re douff and dowie at the beſt
Tuo' thouſands ſhould encore them,
They're douſſ and dowie at the beſt,
Their allegro's and a' the reſt,
They cauna pleaſe a true Scots taſte.
Compar'd with Tallichgorm
Let worldly minds themſelves oppress
Wi' fear of want an double ceſs,
And ſullen ſots themſelves oppress
Wi' keeping up decorum;
Shall we ſo ſour and ſulky fit,
Sour and sulky.
Sour and sulky,
Shall we ſo ſour sulky fit,
Lik(illegible text)d Philosophorum!
Shall we ſo ſour and sulky sit,
We neither sense, nor mirth nor wit,
And never try to shake our foot
To the reel Tullichgorum
Mav choiceſt blessings still attend
Ever honest open hearted friend,
And calm and quiet be his end.
