I 'll no be had for naething
I 'll no be had for naething
I tell yeladsthat 's ae thing
So ye needna follow me.
Ohthe change is most surprising
Last year I was plain Betty Brown
Now to me they 're a' aspiring--
The fair Elizabeth I am grown [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]!
What siller does is most amazing
Nane o' them e'er look'd at me
Now my charms they a' are praising
For my sake they 're like to dee.
The Lairdthe Shirraand the Doctor
Wi' twa three Lords o' high degree;
Wi' heaps o' Writers I could mention--
Ohsurely this is no me [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]!
But I 'll no&c.
The yett is now for ever ringing
Showers o' valentines aye bringing
Fill'd wi' Cupidsflamesand darts
Fae auld and youngwi' broken hearts.
The sillerO the weary siller [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]!
Aft in toil and trouble sought
But better far it should be sae
Than that true hearts should e'er be bought.

But there is anewhen I had naething
A' his heart he gi'ed to me;
And sair he toil'd for a [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] thing
To bring me when he cam frae sea.
If ever I should marry ony
He will be the lad for me;
For he was baith gude and bonny
And he thought the same o' me.
Sae I 'll no&c.
