Poems and Songs of Robert Burns

  o that's the lassie o' my heart
  tune—“morag.”
  o wat ye wha that lo'es me
  and has my heart a-keeping?
  o sweet is she that lo'es me,
  as dews o' summer weeping,
  in tears the rosebuds steeping!
  chorus—o that's the lassie o' my heart,
  my lassie ever dearer;
  o she's the queen o' womankind,
  and ne'er a ane to peer her.
  if thou shalt meet a lassie,
  in grace and beauty charming,
  that e'en thy chosen lassie,
  erewhile thy breast sae warming,
  had ne'er sic powers alarming;
  o that's the lassie, c.
  if thou hadst heard her talking,
  and thy attention's plighted,
  that ilka body talking,
  but her, by thee is slighted,
  and thou art all delighted;
  o that's the lassie, c.
  if thou hast met this fair one,
  when frae her thou hast parted,
  if every other fair one
  but her, thou hast deserted,
  and thou art broken-hearted,
  o that's the lassie o' my heart,
  my lassie ever dearer;
  o that's the queen o' womankind,
  and ne'er a ane to peer her.
