For
A That
Tho'
women's minds , like winter winds,
May shift, and turn, an' a' that,
The noblest breast adores them maist --
A consequence I draw that.
Chorus
For a' that, an' a' that,
And twice as meikle's a' that;
The bonie lass that I loe best
She'll be my ain for a' that.
Great love
I bear to a' the fair ,
Their humble slave, an' a' that;
But lordly will, I hold it still
A mortal sin to thraw that.
Chorus
For a' that, an' a' that,
And twice as meikle's a' that;
The bonie lass that I loe best
She'll be my ain for a' that.
But there
is ane aboon the lave ,
Has wit, and sense, an' a' that;
A bonie lass, I like her best,
And wha a crime dare ca' that?
Chorus
For a' that, an' a' that,
And twice as meikle's a' that;
The bonie lass that I loe best
She'll be my ain for a' that.
In rapture
sweet this hour we meet,
Wi' mutual love an' a' that,
But
for how lang the flie may stang ,
Let inclination law that.
Chorus
For a' that, an' a' that,
And twice as meikle's a' that;
The bonie lass that I loe best
She'll be my ain for a' that.
Their tricks
an' craft hae put me daft .
They've taen me in, an' a' that;
But clear your decks, and here's -- "The Sex!"
I like the jads for a' that.
Chorus
For a' that, an' a' that,
And twice as meikle's a' that;
The bonie lass that I loe best
She'll be my ain for a' that.
