Robert Burns, 1795

Chorus: O gude ale comes and gude ale goes; Gude ale gars me sell my hose, Sell my hose, and pawn my shoon- Gude ale keeps my heart aboon! I had sax owsen in a pleugh, And they drew a' weel eneugh: I sell'd them a' just ane by ane- Gude ale keeps the heart aboon! Chorus: 2. Gude ale hauds me bare and busy, Gars me moop wi' the servant hizzie, Stand i' the stool when I hae done- Gude ale keeps the heart aboon! Chorus:
