A Scotch Song written and compes'd by Mr Richard Brown.

[...] If my Sawny thou's but love me,
[...] Ise be constant, Ise be kind:
[...] No gued Lass shall er'e out doe me,
[...] nor blith Lad once change my mind.
[...] Ise Trudg with thee,
[...] never leave thee,
[...] gang thee er'e to wake or Fair.
[...] Jenny'l peddle,
[...] Sawny'l fiddle, fiddle,
[...] sing and dance;
[...] take our Chance,
[...] laugh, drink, and Drown the Worlds Care.
(II.)
Wee's get Treasure in our Budget,
What tho Gold wee doe not wear;
Those that doe, we nee'r will grudg it,
We's get muckle Coin ne're fear:
With our Labor,
Pipe and Tabor;
We's play on each new born Year:
Jenny'l peddle,
Sawny'l fiddle,
Sing and dance;
Take our Chance,
Laugh, drink, and drown the Worlds Care.

For the Flute. [...]
