On A Scotch Bard, Gone To The West Indies
on a scotch bard, goo the west indies
a' ye wha live by sowps o' drink,
a' ye wha live by crambo-k,
a' ye wha live and hink,
e, mourn wi' me!
our billie 's gien us a' a jink,
an' owre the sea!
ment him a' ye rantin core,
wha dearly like a random splore;
nae mair he'll join the merry roar;
in social key;
for now he's taen anither shore.
an' owre the sea!
the bonie sses weel may wiss him,
and in their dear petitions pce him:
the ives, an' a' may bless him
wi' tearfu&
