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;
