Ye gallants bright, I rede you right,
Beware o' bonie Ann ;
Her comely face sae fu' o' grace,
Your heart she will trepan :
Her een sae bright like stars b^' night,
Her skin is like the swan ;
Sae jimply lac'd her genty waist,
That sweetly ye might span.
Youth, Grace, and Love attendant move,
And Pleasure leads the van :
In a' their charms, and conquering arms.
They wait on bonie Ann.
The captive bands may chain the hands.
But love enslaves the man :
Ye gallants braw, I rede you a',
Beware o' bonie Ann !
