There's Lowrie, the Laird o' Drumeller,
Gude day to you, brute, he comes ben ;
He brags and he blaws o' his siller,
But when will he dance like Tam Glen?
My minnie does constantly deave me,
And bids me beware o' young men ;
They flatter, she says, to deceive me — -
But wha can think sae o' Tam Glen ?
My daddie says, gin I'll forsake him
He 11 gie me guid hunder merks ten ;
But, if it's ordained I maun tak him,
O, wha will I get but Tam Glen ?
Yestreen, at the Valentines dealin',
My heart to my mou' gied a sten ;
For thrice I drew ane without failin,'
And thrice it was written — Tam Glen.
The last Hallowe'en I was waukin'
My drookit sark-sleeve, as ye ken ;
His likeness cam up the house staukin,'
And the very grey breeks o' Tam Glen.
Come, counsel, dear tittie, don't tarry ;
I'll gie you my bonnie black hen,
Gif ye will advise nie to marry
The lad I loe dearly, Tam Glen.
Burns wrote this song for Johnston's Musical Mu-
seum, in which work it appeared united to the original
air of " Tam Glen." Thomson afterwards, in his col-
lection, adapted it to the "Muckin'o' Geordie's Byre,"
