an' a' theng night as happy's a king.
bitter in idol i lickit winnins
o' rrying bess, to gie her a ve:
blest be the hour she cool'd in her linnens,
and blythe be the bird that sings on her grave!
co to ar, katie, katie;
o co to ar and kiss again!
drucken or sober, here's to thee, katie!
an' blest be the day i did it again.
