| ILK care and fear, when thou art near | 5 |
| I evermair defy them, O! | |
| Young kings upon their hansel throne | |
| Are no sae blest as I am, O! | |
| And I’ll kiss thee yet, yet, &c. | |
| |
| When in my arms, wi’ a’ thy charms, | 10 |
| I clasp my countless treasure, O! | |
| I seek nae mair o’ Heaven to share | |
| Than sic a moment’s pleasure, O! | |
| And I’ll kiss thee yet, yet, &c. | |
| |
| And by thy een sae bonie blue, | 15 |
| I swear I’m thine for ever, O! | |
| And on thy lips I seal my vow, | |
| And break it shall I never, O! | |
| And I’ll kiss thee yet, yet, &c. | |
