For A' That |
Scotland. Words: attributed to Robbie Burns. The bonniest lass that ye meet neist Gie her a kiss an' a' that In spite o' ilka parish priest Repentin' stool an' a' that For a' that an' a' that Their mim-mou'd sangs an' a' that In time and place convenient They'll do't themselves for a' that. Your patriarchs in days o' yore Had their handmaids an' a' that O' bastard gets some had a score An' some had mair than a' that For a' that an' a' that Your langsyne saunts an' a' that Were fonder o' a bonny lass Than you or I for a' that. King Davie when he waxed auld An's bluid ran thin an' a' that And found his cods were growing cauld Could not refrain for a' that For a' that an' a' that To keep him warm an' a' that The daughters o' Jerusalem Were waled for him an' a' that. King Solomon, prince o' divines Wha proverbs made an' a' that Baith mistresses an' concubines In hundreds had for a' that For a' that an' a' that Tho' a preacher wise an' a' that The smuttiest sang that e'er was sung His Sang o' Sangs is a' that. Then still I swear a clever chiel Should kiss a lass an' a' that Tho' priests consign him to the deil As reprobate an' a' that For a' that an' a' that Their canting stuff an' a' that They ken nae mair wha's reprobate Than you or I for a' that.
