第 3 頁 - BEHAVE YOURSEL' BEFORE FOLK Behave yoursel' before folk ! Behave yoursel' before folk ! And dinna be sae rude to me As kiss me sae before folk ! It wadna gie me meikle pain, Gin we were seen and heard by nane, To tak' a kiss, or grant you ane ; But gudesake ! no before folk. Behave yoursel' before folk ! Behave yoursel' before folk ! Whate'er you do when out o' view, Be cautious aye before folk.
第 2 頁 - An' aye she e'ed my auld breeks, The time that we sat crackin', Quo' I, my lass, ne'er mind the clouts, I've new anes for the makin' ; But gin ye'll just come hame wi' me, An' lea' the carle, your father, Ye'se get my breeks to keep in trim, Mysel' an' a
第 4 頁 - That's gi'en or ta'en before folk. Behave yoursel' before folk, Behave yoursel' before folk ; Nor gi'e the tongue o' auld or young Occasion to come o'er folk.
第 5 頁 - Behave yoursel' before folk, Behave yoursel' before folk ; Nor heat my cheeks wi' your mad freaks, But aye be douce before folk. Ye tell me that my lips are sweet, Sic tales, I doubt, are a' deceit ; At ony rate, it's hardly meet To pree their sweets before folk. Behave yoursel' before folk, Behave yoursel' before folk ; Gin that's the case, there's time and place, But surely no before folk. But, gin you really do insist That I should suffer to be kiss'd, Gae, get a license frae the priest, And mak'...
第 2 頁 - An' mak a wife most thrifty.' Wow! Robin was an angry man, At tyning o' his dochter: Thro' a' the kintra-side he ran, An' far an' near he socht her; But when he cam to our fire-end, An' fand us baith thegither, Quo' I, 'Gudeman, I've ta'en your bairn, An
第 xxviii 頁 - BRIGHT is the ring of words When the right man rings them, Fair the fall of songs When the singer sings them. Still they are carolled and said — On wings they are carried — After the singer is dead And the maker buried.
第 6 頁 - An' oh ! that pawkie, rowin' e'e, Sae roguishly it blinks on me, I canna, for my saul, let be, Frae kissing you before folk ! Can I behave, can I behave, Can I behave before folk, When ilka glint conveys a hint To tak...
第 55 頁 - I wad far rather pree, And a rosy-faced landlord's the Bacchus for me. Then I'll toddle butt, and I'll toddle ben, And let them drink at wine wha nae better do ken. Your wine it may do for the bodies far south, But a Scotsman likes something that bites i...
第 52 頁 - When youthfu' vigour fails him, by his ain fireside, And hoary age assails him, by his ain fireside, With joy he back surveys all his scenes of bygone days, As he trod in wisdom's ways, by his ain fireside. And when grim death draws near him, by his ain fireside, What cause has he to fear him, by his ain fireside, With a bosom-cheering hope, he takes heaven for his prop, Then calmly down does drop, by his ain fireside. O may that lot be ours, by our ain fireside, Then glad will fly the hours, by...
第 159 頁 - And it's oh! dear! what can the matter be? Dear! dear! what can the matter be?
