Ballads on Mr. Herons Election, 1795（2 / 8）

  for a' that, and a' that,
  here's heron yet for a' that!
  a lord may be a lousy loun,
  wi' ribband, star and a' that.
  a beardless boy comes o'er the hills,
  wi' uncle's purse and a' that;
  but we'll hae ane frae mang oursels,
  a man we ken, and a' that.
  for a' that, and a' that,
  here's heron yet for a' that!
  for we're not to be bought and sold,
  like naigs, and nowt, and a' that.
  then let us drink—the stewartry,
  kerroughtree's laird, and a' that,
  our representative to be,
  for weel he's worthy a' that.
  for a' that, and a' that,
  here's heron yet for a' that!
  a house of commons such as he,
  they wad be blest that saw that.
  ballad second—election day
  tune—“fy, let us a' to the bridal.”
  fy, let us a' to kirkcudbright,
  for there will be bickerin' there;
  for murray's light horse are to muster,
  and o how the heroes will swear!
  and there will be murray, commander,
  and gordon, the battle to win;
  like brothers they'll stand by each other,
  sae knit in alliance and kin. ↑返回顶部↑
