| |
| Chorus—O gude ale comes and gude ale goes; | |
| Gude ale gars me sell my hose, | |
| Sell my hose, and pawn my shoon— | |
| Gude ale keeps my heart aboon! | |
| |
| I HAD sax owsen in a pleugh, | 5 |
| And they drew a’ weel eneugh: | |
| I sell’d them a’ just ane by ane— | |
| Gude ale keeps the heart aboon! | |
| O gude ale comes, &c. | |
| |
| Gude ale hauds me bare and busy, | 10 |
| Gars me moop wi’ the servant hizzie, | |
| Stand i’ the stool when I hae done— | |
| Gude ale keeps the heart aboon! | |
| O gude ale comes, &c. | |
