o thats the lassie o my heart（1/1）

o that's the lassie o' my heart

tune—“morag.”

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.
