(Robert Burns)
In comin by the brig o Dye,
At Darlet we a blink did tarry;
As day was dawin in the sky,
We drank a health to bonie Mary.
CHORUS
Theniel Menzies’ bonie Mary,
Theniel Menzies’bonie Mary,
Charlie Grigor tint his plaidie,
Kissin Theniel’s bonie.Mary.
Her een sae bright, her brow sae white,
Her haffet locks as brown’s a berry,
And ay they dimpl’t wi’ a smile,
The rosy cheeks o’ bonie Mary.
We lap an danc’d the lee-lang day,
Till piper-lads were wae and weary;
But Charlie gat the spring to pay,
For kissin Theniel’s bonie Mary.

There Was a Lad
(Robert Burns)
There was a lad was born in Kyle,
But whatna day o’whatna style,
I doubt it’s hardly worth the while
To be sae nice wi’Robin.
Robin was a rovin’ Boy,
Rantin’rovin’, rantin’ rovin’;
Robin was a rovin’Boy,
Rantin’rovin’Robin.
Our monarch’s hindmost year but ane
Was five-and-twenty days begun,
‘Twas then a blast o’Janwar’Win’
Blew hansel in on Robin.
The Gossip keekit in his loof,
Quo’scho wha lives will see the proof,
This waly boy will be nae coof,
I think we’ll ca’him Robin.
He’ll hae misfortunes great and sma’,
But ay a heart aboon them a’;
He’ll be a credit till us a’,
We’ll a’be proud o’Robin.
But sure as three times three mak nine,
I see by ilka score and line,
This chap will dearly like our kin’,
So leeze me on thee, Robin.
«Guid faith,» quo’scho, «I doubt you Stir,
Ye gar the lasses lie aspar;
But twenty fauts ye may hae waur-
So blessins on thee, Robin.»
