James Drummond Burns

And let us mind faint heart ne'er wan A lady fair.

She is a winsome wee thing She is a handsome wee thing She is a bonny wee thing This sweet wee wife o' mine.

Oh wad some power the giftie gie us To see oursel's as ithers see us! It wad frae monie a blunder free us And foolish notion.

Some hae meat and canna eat And some wad eat that want it But we hae meat and we can eat And sae the Lord be thankit.

In durance vile here must I wake and weep And all my frowsy couch in sorrow steep.

They never sought in vain that sought the Lord aright!

A man's a man for a' that!

Oh my luve's like a red red rose That's newly sprung in June Oh my luve's like the melodie That's sweetly played in tune.

Life is but a day at most.

Liberty's in every blow! Let us do or die.

Gin a body meets a body Comin' through the rye. Gin a body kiss a body Need a body cry?

I have been dying for twenty years now I am going to live.

Should auld acquaintances be forgot And never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot And days o'auld lang syne?

The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men Gang aft a-gley And leave us nought but grief and pain For promised joy.

Man's inhumanity to man Makes countless thousands mourn!

O wad some power the giftie gie us To see oursel's as ithers see us!

Let us do or die.
