OH ! DINNA ASK ME GIN I LO'E YE.
Tune — Gin a Body meet a Body.
Oh ! dinna ask me gin I lo'e thee ;
Troth, I (larna tell :
Dinna ask me gin I lo'e ye ;
Ask it o' yoursell.
Oh ! dinna look sae sair at me,
For weel ye ken me true ;
O, gin ye look sae sair at me,
I daurna look at you.
When ye gang to yon braw braw town,
And bonnier lasses see,
O, dinna, Jamie, look at them,
Lest you should mind na me.
For I could never bide the lass,
That ye'd lo'e mair than me ;
And O, I'm sure, my heart would break,
Gin ye'd prove false to me.
BEWARE O' BONNIE ANN.
BURNS.
Ye gallants braw, I rede ye right.
Beware o' bonnie Ann ;
Her comely face sae fu' o' grace.
Your heart she will trepan.
Her een sae bright, like stars by night,
Her skin is like the swan ;
Sae jimply laced, her genty waist.
That sweetly ye might span.
