ChorusO gude ale comes and gude ale goes;
Gude ale gars me sell my hose,
Sell my hose, and pawn my shoon
Gude ale keeps my heart aboon!
I HAD sax owsen in a pleugh,
And they drew a weel eneugh:
I selld them a just ane by ane
Gude ale keeps the heart aboon!
O gude ale comes, &c.
Gude ale hauds me bare and busy,
Gars me moop wi the servant hizzie,
Stand i the stool when I hae done
Gude ale keeps the heart aboon!
O gude ale comes, &c.
