Tibbie, I hae feen the day*
Tune, — ** Invercald's ReelS
O Tibbie, I hae feen the day,
Ye ivould nae been fae fhy,
For laik o 9 gear ye lightly me,
But troivth, I care na by.
ESTREEN I met you on the moor,
Ye fpak na, but gaed by like ftoure ;
Ye geek at me becaufe I'm poor,
But fient a hair care I.
O Tibbie, I hae, &C;
I doubt na, lafs, but ye may think,
Becaufe ye hae the name o' clink,
That ye can pleafe me at a wink,
When'er ye like to try,
O Tibbie, I hae, &C,
But forrow tak him that's fae mean,
Altho' his pouch o' coin were clean,
Wha follows ony faucy quean
That looks fae proud and high.
O Tibbie, I hae, &C.
Altho' a lad were e'er fae fmart*
If that he want the yellow dirt,
Ye'll call your head ankher airt,
And anfwer him fu' dry.
O Tibbie, I hae, &C.
-But if he hae the name o' gear,
Ye'll fallen to him like a brier 3
