Robert Burns - The Tarbolton LassesRobert Burns - The Tarbolton Lasses
Work rating: Medium


If ye gae up to yon hill-tap, Ye`ll there see bonie Peggy; She kens her father is a laird, And she forsooth`s a leddy. There Sophy tight, a lassie bright, Besides a handsome fortune: Wha canna win her in a night, Has little art in courtin`. Gae down by Faile, and taste the ale, And tak a look o` Mysie; She`s dour and din, a deil within, But aiblins she may please ye. If she be shy, her sister try, Ye`ll maybe fancy Jenny; If ye`ll dispense wi` want o` sense- She kens hersel she`s bonie. As ye gae up by yon hillside, Speir in for bonie Bessy; She`ll gie ye a beck, and bid ye light, And handsomely address ye. There`s few sae bonie, nane sae guid, In a` King George` dominion; If ye should doubt the truth o` this- It`s Bessy`s ain opinion!
