O, GUID ALE COMES
Chorus
O, guid ale comes, and guid ale goes,Guid ale gars me sell my hose,
Sell my hose, and pawn my shoon—
Guid ale keeps my heart aboon!
I
I had sax owsen in a pleugh,And they drew a' weel eneugh:
I sell'd them a' just ane by ane—
Guid ale keeps the heart aboon!
II
Guid ale hauds me bare and busy,Gars me moop wi' the servant hizzie,
Stand i' the stool when I hae dune—
Guid ale keeps the heart aboon!
Chorus
O, guid ale comes, and guid ale goes,Guid ale gars me sell my hose,
Sell my hose, and pawn my shoon—
Guid ale keeps my heart aboon!
