A poem by Robert Burns

Here's His Health In Water

________________________________________________
Title:     Here's His Health In Water
Author: Robert Burns [More Titles by Burns]

Tune--"The Job of Journey-work."


Altho' my back be at the wa',
And tho' he be the fautor;
Altho' my back be at the wa',
Yet, here's his health in water.
O wae gae by his wanton sides,
Sae brawlie's he could flatter;
Till for his sake I'm slighted sair,
And dree the kintra clatter:
But tho' my back be at the wa',
And tho' he be the fautor;
But tho' my back be at the wa',
Yet here's his health in water!


1786
