| | | SOME say that kissing s a sin; | |
| But I think it s nane ava, | |
| For kissing has wonnd in this warld | |
| Since ever that there was twa. | |
| |
| O, if it wasna lawfu | 5 |
| Lawyers wadna allow it; | |
| If it wasna holy, | |
| Ministers wadna do it. | |
| |
| If it wasna modest, | |
| Maidens wadna tak it; | 10 |
| If it wasna plenty, | |
| Puir folk wadna get it. | | | | |
