Gie The Lass Her Fairin'


O gie the lass her fairin', lad, 
O gie the lass her fairin', 
An' something else she'll gie to you, 
That's waly worth the wearin'; 
Syne coup her o'er amang the creels, 
When ye hae taen your brandy, 
The mair she bangs the less she squeels, 
An' hey for houghmagandie.

Then gie the lass a fairin', lad, 
O gie the lass her fairin', 
An' she'll gie you a hairy thing, 
An' of it be na sparin'; 
But coup her o'er amang the creels, 
An' bar the door wi' baith your heels, 
The mair she gets the less she squeels; 
An' hey for houghmangandie.
