O guid Ale comes

CHORUS.O guid ale comes, and guid ale goes,Guid ale gars me sell my hose,Sell my hose, and pawn my shoon,Guid ale keeps my heart aboon.

I had sax owsen in a pleugh,They drew a' weel eneough,I sell'd them a' just ane by ane;Guid ale keeps my heart aboon.

Guid ale hauds me bare and busy,Gars me moop wi' the servant hizzie,Stand i' the stool when I hae done,Guid ale keeps my heart aboon.O guid ale comes, &c.
