Poem by Robert Burns

Here’s His Health in Water!

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 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!

1. I Gaed a Waefu' Gate Yestreen

3. Farewell to Ballochmyle
4. Stay My Charmer
5. On a Bank of Flowers
