Lyrics - There Was A Lad by Burns Robert

There
Was a
Lad (
Robert
Burns)
There was a lad was born in
Kyle,
But whatna day o'whatna style,
I doubt it's hardly worth the while
To be sae nice wi'
Robin.
Robin was a rovin'
Boy,
Rantin'rovin', rantin' rovin';
Robin was a rovin'
Boy,
Rantin'rovin'
Robin.
Our monarch's hindmost year but ane
Was five-and-twenty days begun,'
Twas then a blast o'
Janwar'
Win'
Blew hansel in on
Robin.
The
Gossip keekit in his loof,
Quo'scho wha lives will see the proof,
This waly boy will be nae coof,
I think we'll ca'him
Robin.
He'll hae misfortunes great and sma',
But ay a heart aboon them a';
He'll be a credit till us a',
We'll a'be proud o'
Robin.
But sure as three times three mak nine,
I see by ilka score and line,
This chap will dearly like our kin',
So leeze me on thee,
Robin."
Guid faith," quo'scho, "
I doubt you
Stir,
Ye gar the lasses lie aspar;
But twenty fauts ye may hae waur-
So blessins on thee,
Robin."
