hor.—And I’ll kiss thee yet, yet,And I’ll kiss thee o’er again:And I’ll kiss thee yet, yet,My bonie Peggy Alison. Ilk care and fear, when thou art nearI evermair defy them, O!Young kings upon their hansel throneAre no sae blest as I am, O!And I’ll kiss thee yet, yet, &c. When in my arms, wi’ a’ thy charms,I clasp my countless treasure, O!I seek nae mair o’ Heaven to shareThan sic a moment’s pleasure, O!And I’ll kiss thee yet, yet, &c. And by thy een sae bonie blue,I swear I’m thine for ever, O!And on thy lips I seal my vow,And break it shall I never, O!And I’ll kiss thee yet, yet, &c.
