by Robert Burns (1759 - 1796)

An I'll kiss thee yet, yet
Language: Scottish (Scots) 
An I'll kiss thee yet, yet,
  An I'll kiss thee o'er again;
An I'll kiss thee yet, yet,
  My bony Peggy Alison.
Ilk Care and Fear, when thou art near,
  I ever mair defy them, O;
Young kings upon their hansel throne
  Are no sae blest as I am, O!

When in my arms, wi' a' thy charms,
  I clasp my countless treasure, O!
I seek nae mair o' Heav'n to share,
  Than sic a moment's pleasure, O!

And by thy een sae bony blue,
  I swear I'm thine forever, O!
And on thy lips I seal my vow,
  And break it shall I never O!
