The wisest man the warl’ e’er saw

He dearly lov’d the lasses, O.

Auld Nature swears, the lovely dears

Her noblest work she classes, O:

Her prentice han’ she try’d on man,

An’ then she made the lasses, O.

Green grow the rashes, O!

Green grow the rashes, O!

The sweetest hours that e’er I spend

Are spent amang the lasses, O.
