a lass wi' a tocher
tune—“ballinamona ora.”
awa' wi' your witchcraft o' beauty's alarms,
the slender bit beauty you grasp in your arms,
o, gie me the lass that has acres o' charms,
o, gie me the lass wi' the weel-stockit farms.
chorus—then hey, for a lass wi' a tocher,
then hey, for a lass wi' a tocher;
then hey, for a lass wi' a tocher;
the nice yellow guineas for me.
