339 . Song—O for ane an’ twenty, Tam

Chorus.—An’ O for ane an’ twenty, Tam!

And hey, sweet ane an’ twenty, Tam!

I’ll learn my kin a rattlin’ sang,

An’ I saw ane an’ twenty, Tam.

THEY snool me sair, and haud me down,

An’ gar me look like bluntie, Tam;

But three short years will soon wheel roun’,

An’ then comes ane an’ twenty, Tam.

An’ O for, &c.

A glieb o’ lan’, a claut o’ gear,

Was left me by my auntie, Tam;

At kith or kin I need na spier,

An I saw ane an’ twenty, Tam.

An’ O for, &c.

They’ll hae me wed a wealthy coof,

Tho’ I mysel’ hae plenty, Tam;

But, hear’st thou laddie! there’s my loof,

I’m thine at ane an’ twenty, Tam!

An’ O for, &c.
