say he's woo'd, But he may say he's bought her, O,
Come, draw a drap o' the best o't yet,
Come, draw a drap o' the best o't yet ;
Gae, seek for pleasure where ye will ;
But here I never miss'd it yet.
We're a' dry wi' drinking o't,
We're a' dry wi' drinking o't ;
The minister kiss'd the fiddler's wife,
And cou'dna preach for thinking o't.
In this humorous song, composed of the two leading features of man's life, love and
drink, they are characteristically portrayed, and the preference given to the passion of love.
