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.
