But what care I how few they be,

I'm welcome aye to Nannie, O.

My riches a's my penny-fee, wages

An' I maun guide it cannie, O; carefully

But warl's gear ne'er troubles me, lucre

My thoughts are a'—my Nannie, O.

Our auld guidman delights to view

His sheep an' kye thrive bonnie, O. cows

But I'm as blythe that hauds his pleugh, holds

An' has nae care but Nannie, O.
