Talk not to me of savages

That there is falsehood in his looks
The bairns gat out wi' an unco shout
The blude-red rose at Yule may blaw
The bonie lass made the bed to me
The Catrine woods were yellow seen
The Cooper o' Cuddy cam here awa
The day returns, my bosom burns
The deil cam fiddlin thro' the toun

The Devil got notice that Grose was a-dying
The flower it blaws, it fades, it fa's

There lived a carle in Kellyburn Braes

There's a youth in the city, it were a great pity

There's auld Rob Morris that wons in yon glen

There's nane shall ken, there's nane can guess

There's nought but care on every hand

There was a bonie lass, and a bonie, bonie lass
There was a lad was born in Kyle
There was a lass and she was fair

There was once a time, but old Time was then young

Thou flattering mark of friendship kind

Thou greybeard, old Wisdom, may boast of thy treasures

Thou, Nature, partial Nature, I arraign
Thou, who thy honor as thy God rever'st
Thou whom Chance may hither lead
Thou's welcome, wean, mishanter fa' me
Tho' cruel Fate should bid us part
Though fickle Fortune has deceived me
Tho' women's minds, like winter winds
Thro' and thro' the inspir'd leaves

"Tis friendship's pledge, my young, fair friend

True-hearted was he, the sad swain o' the Yarrow
Turn again, thou fair Eliza

Wae is my heart, and the tear's in my e'e
Wae worth thy power, thou cursed leaf
We are na fou, we're nae that fou
We cam na here to view your warks
We grant they're thine, those beauties all
We'll hide the cooper behint the door.
Wee, modest, crimson-tipped flower
Wee, sleeket, cow'rin, tim'rous beastie.
Wee Willie Gray and his leather wallet
Wha in a brulyie will first cry a parley
Wha is that at my bower door?
