Robert Burns - My Nannie, ORobert Burns - My Nannie, O
Work rating: Medium


Behind yon hills, where Lugar flows,     `Mang moors an` mosses many, O, The wintry sun the day has clos`d,     And I`ll awa to Nannie, O. The westlin wind blaws loud and shill;     The night`s baith mirk an` rainy, O; But I`ll get my plaid, an` out I`ll steal,     An` owre the hills to Nannie, O. My Nannie`s charming, sweet, an` young:     Nae artfu` wiles to Will ye, O: May ill befa` the flattering tongue     That wad beguile my Nannie, O. Her face is fair, her heart is true,     She`s spotless as she`s bonnie, O: The op`ning gowan, wet wi` dew,     Nae purer is than Nannie, O. A country lad is my degree,     And few there be that ken me, O; But what care I how few they be     I`m welcome aye to Nannie, O. My riches a` `s my penny-fee,     An` I maun guide it cannie, O; But warl`s gear ne`er troubles me,     My thoughts are a` my Nannie, O. Our auld guidman delights to view     His sheep and kye thrive bonnie, O; But I`m as blythe that hauds his pleugh,     An` has nae care but Nannie, O. Come weel, come woe, I care na by,     I`ll tak` what Heav`n will sen` me, O; Nae ither care in life have I,     But live, an` love my Nannie, O.
