There was a lad was born in Kyle, But what na dee o' what na style, I doot it's hardly worth th' while, Ta be sae nice wi' Robin. Chorus 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 handsel in on Robin Chorus The Gossip keekit in his loof, Quo' scho wha lives will see th' proof, This waly boy will be nae coof, I think we'll ca' him Robin. Chorus 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. Chorus But as sure as three times three mak nine, I see by ilka score and line, This lad will dearly like our kin' So leeze me on thee, Robin. Chorus Guid faith quo scho I doubt you Stir, Ye'll gar the lasses lie aspar; But twenty fauts ye may hae waur - So blessins on thee, Robin. Chorus |
