O for Ane An’ Twenty, Tam
Chorus.—An’ O for ane an’ twenty, Tam!And hey, sweet ane an’ twenty, Tam!I’ll learn my kin a rattlin’ sang,An’ I saw ane an’ twenty, Tam.
They snool me sair, and haud me down,An’ gar me look like bluntie, Tam;But three short years will soon wheel roun’,An’ then comes ane an’ twenty, Tam.An’ O for, &c.
A glieb o’ lan’, a claut o’ gear,Was left me by my auntie, Tam;At kith or kin I need na spier,An I saw ane an’ twenty, Tam.An’ O for, &c.
They’ll hae me wed a wealthy coof,Tho’ I mysel’ hae plenty, Tam;But, hear’st thou laddie! there’s my loof,I’m thine at ane an’ twenty, Tam!An’ O for, &c.
