642 THERE'S NEWS, LASSES. BURNS. There's news, lasses, news, Gude news hae I to tell There's a boat fu' o' lads Come to our toun to sell. The wean wants a cradle, And the cradle wants a cod And I'll no gang to my bed, Until I get a nod. Father, quo' she. Mother, quo' she, Do ye what ye can, I'll no gang to my bed Till I get a man. I hae as gude a craft-rig As made o' yird and stane And waly fa' the ley crap, For I maun till't again. ; ; ; ; LAY THY LOOF IN MINE, LASS. BURNS. Tune—O lay thy loo/in miney lass. O LAY thy loof in mine, lass. In mine, lass^ in mine, lass ; And swear on thy white hand, lass. That thou wilt be my ain. A slave to love's unbounded sway, He aft has wrought me muckle^ wae
643 But now he is my deadly fae, Unless thou be my ain. There's mony a lass has broke my rest, That for a blink I hae lo'ed best But thou art queen within my breast, For ever to remain. HERE'S TO THY HEALTH, MY BONNIE LASS. BURNS. Tune—Logan Burn. : ; ; ; ; ; Here's to thy health, my bonnie lass Gude nicht, and joy be wi' thee I I'll come nae mair to thy bouir door. To tell thee that I loe thee. Oh dinna think, my pretty pink. But I can live without thee I vow and swear I dinna care How lang ye look about ye. Thou'rt aye sae free informing Thou hast nae mind to marry I'll be as free informing thee, Nae time hae I to tarry. I ken thy friends try ilka means Frae wedlock to delay thee. Depending on some higher chance But fortune may betray thee. I ken they scorn my low estate But that does never grieve me For I'm as free as ony he Sraa' siller will relieve me. : !
