SONGS BY BURNS, IN JOHNSON's 5th VOL.,DEC., 1796

Introductory Note,

The lovely lass of Inverness,

A red, red rose,

The Vision,

O gin ye were dead, gudeman,

Here's a health to them that's awa',

Auld Lang Syne,

Louis, what reck I by thee,

Had I the wyte? she bade me!

Comin' thro' the rye,

Young Jamie, pride of a' the plain,

Out over the Forth,

Wantonness for ever mair,

Charlie, he's my darling,

The lass of Ecclefechan,

The Cooper o' Cuddy, .

Leezie Lindsay,

For the sake o’Somebody,

The cardin' o't,

There's three true gude fellows,

O can ye sew cushions,

SONGS FIRST PUBLISHED IN THOMSON'S COLLECTION, VOL. II., JULY, 1799.

Thine am I, my faithful fair,
Had I a cave,

By Allan stream I chanced to rove,
Whistle, and I'll come to you, my lad,
Come, let me take thee to my breast,
Now rosy May,

It was the charming month of May,
Thou hast left me ever, Jamie,
Bruce's Address at Bannockburn,
Husband, husband, cease your strife,
Farewell, thou stream that winding flows,
The last time I came o'er the moor,
Contented wi' little,

Canst thou leave me thus, my
My Nannie's awa',

The Chevalier's lament,

O' wha is she that lo'es me?
The braw wooer,

Their groves o' sweet myrtle,

O this is no my ain lassie,

The hopeless lover, .

On the seas and far away,

Ca' the yowes to the knowes,

Saw ye my Phely?

The lover's morning salute to his mistress,

Mark yonder pomp of costly fashion,

My Chloris, mark how green the groves,
Lassie wi' the lint-white locks,

Philly and Willy, .

For a' that and a' that,

Let me in this ae night,

Forlorn, my love, no comfort near,

On Chloris being ill,

'Twas na her bonie blue e'e,

How cruel are the parents,
