I
would do the same for you.

I'm
deep in love wae a bonnie wee lass,
But
I don't think she cares much for me.
The
last time I met her I telt her that
I
would do anything for her, in fact I would dee.
She
turn'd roon and telt me she thought I was ??ft, (unreadable)
But
she broke me up when she said "Man yer daft!"
Chorus
She
doesna care much for me, not a little B.I.T.
She
is what neighbors call a lady,
I've
known her all my life,
I
would like to have her for my wife
Cause
I've loved her ever since she was a baby.
Verse 2
The
Scotch way of coortin' is the best way of all,
But
it's not what some folks may suppose.
She
says my kissin' it won't do at all.
But
I canna get near for the length o' my nose.
And
I've got to shave masel' six time a week,
'Cause
she say's my whiskers keep jaggin' her cheek.
Chorus
Verse 3
I
took her one night for a walk doon the glen,
And
I telt her I'd love her since sincere.
I
telt her I was saving up a' my bawbees
To
try and get spliced to her at the new year.
But
noo it's all over, she's taken the huff.
I've
a tear on my nose and I'm not worth a huff.
pause
Spoken:
If I had the bawbee I'd go abroad , or better than that, I'd
'list
join the lifeguards, go to war and get kilt and get a warrier's
funeral.
It's come to this: I'll have to do something. I'm getting deperate
I maybe
don't look desperate, but I feel it. If only she'd consent to marry
me,
I'd never forget her for it. I feel I'd like to be kind to something since
my
wee dog deed: but mind you, I'm keepin' up my heart, and livin' in
hope
'Cause
as Rabbie Burns said:-
"I'm
always thinkin' on her
She's
ever in my view.
I'll
never live without her,
I think
I see her noo.
I love
her to destraction,
As
lover's ought to do,
And
if she doesna have me
I'll
do something that I'll rue."
Chorus
