Here's his Health in Water

Altho' my back be at the wa',An' tho' he be the fautor;Altho' my back be at the wa',I'll drink his health in water.O wae gae by his wanton sides,Sae brawly's he could flatter.Though for his sake I'm slighted sair,An' dree the kintra clatter;But let them say whate'er they like,Yet, here's his health in water.

He followed me baith out and in,Thro' a' the nooks o' Killie;He followed me baith out and in,Wi' a stiff stanin' pillie.But when he gat atween my legs,We made an unco splutter;An' haith, I trow, I soupled it,Tho' bauldly he did blatter;But now my back is at the wa',Yet here's his health in water.
