11Yestreen I met you on the moor,O Tibbie I hae seen the day
22Ye spake na, but gaed by like stoure !Ye wadna been sae shy
33Ye geck at me because I'm poor,For laik o' gear ye lightly me
44But fient a hair care I.But trowth I care na by -
5 O Tibbie! I hae seen the day
6 Ye wadna been sae shy;
7 For lack o' gear ye lightly me,
8 But trowth I care na by.
95
106When comin hame on Sunday last,Yestreen I met you on the Moor
117Upon the road as I cam past,Ye spak'na but gaed by like stoor
128Ye snufft an' gae your head a cast —Ye geck at me because I'm poor
139But, trowth, I care't na by !But fien' a hair care I. -
14 O Tibbie! I hae seen the day...
15
16I doubt na, lass, but ye may think,
17Because ye hae the name o' clink,
18That ye can please me at a wink,
19Whene'er ye like to try.
20 O Tibbie! I hae seen the day...
2110
2211But sorrow tak' him that's sae mean,When comin' hame on Sunday last
2312Although his pouch o' coin were clean,Upon the road as I cam' past
2413Wha follows ony saucy queanYe snufft an' gae your head a cast
2514That looks sae proud and high !But trouth I caretna by. -
26 O Tibbie! I hae seen the day...
2715
2816Although a lad were e'er sae smart,I doubt na lass, but ye may think
2917If he but want the yellow dirt,Because ye hae the name o' clink
3018Ye'll cast your head anither airt,That ye can please me at a wink
3119And answer him fu' dry.Whene'er ye like to try -
32 O Tibbie! I hae seen the day...
3320
3421But if he hae the name o' gear,But sorrow tak' him that 's sae mean
3522Ye'll fasten to him like a brier,Altho' his pouch o' coin were clean
3623Tho' hardly he, for sense or lear,Wha follows ony saucy Quean
3724Be better than the kye.That looks sae proud and high -
38 O Tibbie! I hae seen the day...
3925
4026But Tibbie, lass, tak' my advice:Altho' a lad were e'er sae smart
4127Your daddie's gear maks you sae nice,If that he want the yellow dirt
4228The deil a ane would speir your price,Ye'll cast your head anither airt
4329Were ye as poor as I.An' answer him fu' dry -
44 O Tibbie! I hae seen the day...
4530
4631There lives a lass in beside yon park,But if he hae the name o' gear
32Ye'll fasten to him like a breer
33Tho' hardly he for sense or lear
34Be better than the ky -
35
36But Tibbie lass tak' my advice
37Your daddie's gear mak's you sae nice
38The de'il a ane wad speir your price
39Were ye as poor as I -
40
41There lives a lass beside yon park
4742I'd rather hae her in her sarkI'd rather hae her in her sark
4843Than you wi' a' your thousand mark,Than you wi' a' your thousand mark
4944That gars you look sae high.That gars you look sae high -
5045 O Tibbie! I hae seen the day...
46An' Tibbie I hae seen the day
47Ye wadna been sae shy
48An' for laik o' gear ye lightly me
49But fien' a hair care I.
