Lyrics
There was a lad was born in kyle But whatna day o' whatna style I doubt it's hardly worth the while To be sae nice wi' robin
Chor. - 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^2 'Twas then a blast o' janwar' win' Blew hansel in on robin Robin was, &c
The gossip keekit in his loof Quo' scho, "wha lives will see the proof This waly boy will be nae coof: I think we'll ca' him robin." Robin was, &c
"He'll hae misfortunes great an' sma' But aye a heart aboon them a' He'll be a credit till us a'- We'll a' be proud o' robin." Robin was, &c
"But sure as three times three mak nine I see by ilka score and line This chap will dearly like our kin' So leeze me on thee! robin." Robin was, &c
"Guid faith," quo', scho, "i doubt you gar The bonie lasses lie aspar; But twenty fauts ye may hae waur So blessins on thee! robin." Robin was, &c
