o that's the lassie o' my heart

　　tune—“morag.”

　　o wat ye wha that lo'es me

　　and has my heart a-keeping?

　　o sweet is she that lo'es me,

　　as dews o' summer weeping,

　　in tears the rosebuds steeping!

　　chorus—o that's the lassie o' my heart,

　　my lassie ever dearer;

　　o she's the queen o' womankind,

　　and ne'er a ane to peer her.

　　if thou shalt meet a lassie,

　　in grace and beauty charming,

　　that e'en thy chosen lassie,

　　erewhile thy breast sae warming,

　　had ne'er sic powers alarming;

　　o that's the lassie, c.

　　if thou hadst heard her talking,

　　and thy attention's plighted,

　　that ilka body talking,

　　but her, by thee is slighted,

　　and thou art all delighted;

　　o that's the lassie, c.

　　if thou hast met this fair one,

　　when frae her thou hast parted,

　　if every other fair one

　　but her, thou hast deserted,

　　and thou art broken-hearted,

　　o that's the lassie o' my heart,

　　my lassie ever dearer;

　　o that's the queen o' womankind,

　　and ne'er a ane to peer her.
