Brief Introduction

*************************************
Och ay,

Ye micht weel-lik me tae ca ye Bonnie Quinie
A'm shair aye howpin thit a'm a-pleasin ye
'Caise ye're sich a smaachrie quine tae me
Wi yer sae clivver-lik blethers an yer umman stare
An yer grunny spik an waavy waak an linthy hair
Wi yer seely leuks thit mak life wirthfyle
Ye're as auld as ye wiss tae be

Och a'm laddie wha liks quines thon's foo a aince daffed wi ye
Bonnie Lassie, Croosey Lassie
Bit noo a'm jist yer uncle, brither, da an auld graunfaither tae

Wul ye noo dince an birl aroon tae wee teenie playin,
An chirm blithely aa alang.
Och aye a lik a weel-faart quine, ye've jaloosed thit she is ye,

An thon is foo a'm shair thit ye wul ivver mak me feel echt feet taa.
