wabster charlie,
i'm tauld he offers very fairly.
an' lord, remember singing sannock,
wi' hale breeks, saxpence, an' a bannock!
a, my auld acquaintanancy,
since she is fitted to her fancy,
an' her kind stars hae airted till her
ga guid chiel wi' a pickle siller.
my ki, best respects, i sen' it,
to cousin kate, an' sister ja:
tell them, frae me, wi' chiels be cautious,
for, faith, they'll aiblins fin' them fashious;
to grant a heart is fairly civil,
but to grant a maidenhead's the devil.
