539. Song—O that's the lassie o' my heart

 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.
