MINE AIN DEAR SOMEBODY.
When gloaming treads the heels of day,
And birds sit cowering on the spray,
Alang the flowery hedge I stray,
To meet mine ain dear somebody.
And birds sit cowering on the spray,
Alang the flowery hedge I stray,
To meet mine ain dear somebody.
The scented brier, the fragrant bean,
The clover bloom, the dewy green,
A' charm me as I rove at e'en,
To meet mine ain dear somebody.
The clover bloom, the dewy green,
A' charm me as I rove at e'en,
To meet mine ain dear somebody.
Let warriors prize the hero's name,
Let mad ambition tower for fame,
I 'm happier in my lowly hame,
Obscurely blest wi' somebody.
Let mad ambition tower for fame,
I 'm happier in my lowly hame,
Obscurely blest wi' somebody.
