me, that e'er my lips have ta'en Your kiss uncanny! Nae mair, auld knave, without a shillina To keep a starvina wight frae stealina Ye'll sena me hameward, blina and reelina Frae nightly swagger, By wall an' post my pathway feelina, Wia mony a stagger. Nae mair oa fights that bruise ana mangles Nae mair oa nets my feet to tangle, Nae mair oa senseless brawl ana wrangle, Wia friena ana wife too, Nae mair oa deavina din ana jangle My feckless life through. Ye thievina, cheatina, auld Cheap Jack, Peddlina your poison brose, I crack Your banes against my ingle-back Wia meikle pleasure. Deil mend ye ia his workshop black, E'en at his leisure! I'll brak ye're neck, ye foul auld sinner, I'll spill ye're bluid, ye vile beginner Oa aa the ills ana aches that winna Quat saul ana body! Gie me hale breeks ana weel-spread dinner Deil taka ye're toddy! Nae mair wia witches' broo gane gyte, Gie me ance mair the auld delight 0' sittina wia my bairns in sight, The gude wife near, The weel-spent
