O, Wert Thou In The Cauld Blast
O, Wert Thou In The Cauld Blast
O, were you in the cold blast
On yonder meadow, on yonder meadow,
My plaid to the angry direction,
I would shelter you,
I would shelter you,
Or did Misfortune's bitter storms
Around you blow, around you blow,
Your shelter should be my bosom,
To share it all, to share it all.
Or were I in the wildest waste,
So black and bare, so black and bare,
The desert were a Paradise,
If you were there, if you were there.
Or were I monarch of the globe,
With you to reign, with you to reign,
The brightest jewel in my crown
Would be my queen, would be my queen.

And I'll kiss thee yet, yet,
And I'll kiss thee o'er again:
And I'll kiss thee yet, yet,
My bonie Peggy Alison.
Ilk care and fear, when thou art near I evermair defy them!
Young kings upon their hansel throne
Are no sae blest as I am!
And I'll kiss thee yet, yet.
When in my arms, wi' a' thy charms,
I clasp my countless treasure!
I seek nae mair o' Heaven to share
Than sic a moment's pleasure!
And I'll kiss thee yet, yet.
And by thy een sae bonie blue,
I swear I'm thine for ever!
And on thy lips I seal my vow,
And break it shall I never!
And I'll kiss thee yet, yet !
O Jenny is all wet, poor body
O Jenny is all wet, poor body,
Jenny is seldom dry:
She draggled all her petticoats,
Coming through the rye!
Coming through the rye, poor body,
Coming through the rye,
She draggled all her petticoats,
Coming through the rye!
Should a body meet a body
Coming through the rye,
Should a body kiss a body,
Need a body cry?
Should a body meet a body
Coming through the glen,
Should a body kiss a body,
Need the world know?
Should a body meet a body
Coming through the grain,
Should a body kiss a body,
The thing is a body's own.
