The Ladies' Evening Song

O The glass is no for you,
Bonny laddie O !
The glass is no for you,
Bonny laddie O !
The glass is no for you,
For it dyes your manly brow,
An' it fills you roarin' fu',
Bonny laddie O !

Then drive us not away
Wi' your drinkin' O !
We like your presence mair
Than you're thinkin' o',
How happy will you be
In our blithesome companye,
Taking innocence and glee
For your drinking O !

Now your een are glancing bright.

Bonny laddie O !
Wi' a pure an' joyfu' light,
Bonny laddie O !
But at ten o'clock at night,
Take a lady's word in plight,
We will see another sight,
Bonny laddie O !

There's a right path an' a wraug,
Bonny laddie O !
An' you needna 'argue lang.

Bonny laddie O !
For the mair you taste an' see
O' our harmless companye,
Aye the happier you will be,
Bonny laddie O !
