MY NANNIE (Continued.)
91
My Nannie's charmin', sweet, and j'oung,
Nae artfu' smiles to win ye, O ;
May ill befa' the flattering tongue,
That wad beguile iny Nannie, O !
Her face is fair, her heart is true.
As spotless as she's bonnie, O;
The openin' gowan, wet wi' dew,
Nae purer is than Nannie, O.
A country lad is my degree.
And few there be that ken me, ;
But what care I, bow few there be —
I'm welcome to my Nannie, O.
My riches a' 's my penny fee,
And I maun guide it cannie, O.
But warld's gear ne'er troubles me,
My thoughts are a' my Nannie, O.
Our auld guid man delights to view
His sheep and kye thrive bonnie, O ;
But I'm as blythe that bauds his plough,
And has nae care but Nannie, 0.
Come weel, come wae, I carena by,
I'll tak what heaven will send me, 0.
Nae other care in life hae I,
But live and love my Nannie, O.
Hunt.
LOVELY, BLOOMING JENNY, O,
Same Air.
Oh ! like a rosy gleam of light.
When first I met my Jenny, fair ;
The rose upon my ravished sight.
Above ray praise, above compare !
Oft, in the festive hours of glee,
I've toyed with lasses many, O !
But none charmed with such ecstasy
As lovelj', blooming Jenny. O !
