He's tall and sonsy, frank and free,
Loe'd by a', and dear to me,
Wi' him IM live, wi' him I'd die 5
Because my Robin lo'es me.
My titty Mary said to me,
Our courtship but a joke wad be,
And I ere lang be made to see,
That Robin did nae lo'e me.
But little kens she what has been,
Me and my honest Rob between,
And in his wooing, O sae keen
Kind Robin is that lo'es me.
Then fly, ye lazy hours, away,
And hasten on the happy day,
When < join your hands,' Mess John shall say s
And him be mine that lo'es me.
Till then let ev'ry chance unite,
To weigh our love and fix delight,
And I'll look on a' such wi' spite,
Wha doubt that Robin lo'es me.
