Here's a bottle and an honest friend, Ilk care and fear, when thou art near, On Cessnock banks there lives a lass, Wae is my heart, Yestreen I had a pint 0' wine, The deil cam fiddling thro' the town, Powers celestial, whose protection, 1 red you beware of the hunting, Young Peggy blooms our bonniest lass, Amang the trees where humming bees, One night as I did wander, There was a lad was born at Kyle, When first 1 came to Ste art K1le.
