The Lady's Evening Song

Hogg

Oh the glass is no' for you, bonnie laddie O

The glass is no' for you, bonnie laddie O

The glass is no' for you

For it dyes your manly brow

And it fills you roarin' fu', bonnie 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 e'en are glancing bright, bonnie laddie O

Wi' a pure and joyful light, bonnie laddie O

But at ten o'clock at night

Tak' a lady's word in plight

We will see anither sight, bonnie laddie O



There's a right path and a wrong, bonnie laddie O

Oh you needna argue lang, bonnie laddie O

For the mair you taste and see

O' our harmless companye

Aye the happier you'll be, bonnie laddie O
