When Love had f i x'd his throne on earth,
Midst beauty's fond caresses, O,
His hours below movM dull and slow
Unless 'mang Paisley Lasses, O.
The witching' face, in ev ry place,
Like ghaists,our peace harasses, O^
But still we chare the lovely race
O' bonnie Paisley Lasses, O.
I see the belle, wi' silk and lace,
Wi' scornfu' e'e she passes, O}
But studied grace maun aye g - ie place
To bonnie Paisley Lasses, O.
Then, while in friendships social ha'
We push aroun' the glasses, O^
Let's drink to them that charm us a',
The bonnie Paisley Lasses, O.
