Gude Ale Keeps the Heart Aboon
Chorus—O gude ale comes and gude ale goes;Gude ale gars me sell my hose,Sell my hose, and pawn my shoon—Gude ale keeps my heart aboon!
I had sax owsen in a pleugh,And they drew a’ weel eneugh:I sell’d them a’ just ane by ane—Gude ale keeps the heart aboon!O gude ale comes, &c.
Gude ale hauds me bare and busy,Gars me moop wi’ the servant hizzie,Stand i’ the stool when I hae done—Gude ale keeps the heart aboon!O gude ale comes, &c.
