O Thats The Lassie O My Heart

    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.
