MY blessin’s upon thy sweet wee lippie!
  My blessin’s upon thy e’e-brie!
Thy smiles are sae like my blythe sodger laddie,
  Thou’s aye the dearer, and dearer to me!
 

But I’ll big a bow’r on yon bonie banks,
  Whare Tay rins wimplin’ by sae clear;
An’ I’ll cleed thee in the tartan sae fine,
  And mak thee a man like thy daddie dear.
