Here are we met, three merry boys,
Three merry boys I trow are we ;
And mony a night we've merry been>
And mony mair we hope to see !
We are na fou, &c. -
It is the moon, I ken her horn,
That's blinking in the lift sae hie ;
She shines sae bright to wyle us hame ;
But, hy my sooth ! she'll wait a wee.
We are na fou, &c.
Wha first shall rise to gang awa,
A cuckold, cowart lown, is he !
Wha first beside his chair shall fa' 3
He is the king amang us three !
We are na fou, &c.
