Tune If he be a butcher neat and trim	A
	-
	-
I	-
	-
On Cessnock banks a lassie dwells	B
Could I describe her shape and mien	C
Our lasses a' she far excels	B
An she has twa sparkling roguish een	C
	-
II	-
	-
She's sweeter than the morning dawn	C
When rising Phoebus first is seen	C
And dew drops twinkle o'er the lawn	C
An' she has twa sparkling roguish een	C
	-
III	-
	-
She's stately like yon youthful ash	D
That grows the cowslip braes between	C
And drinks the stream with vigour fresh	E
An' she has twa sparkling roguish een	C
	-
IV	F
	-
She's spotless like the flow'ring thorn	C
With flow'rs so white and leaves so green	C
When purest in the dewy morn	C
An' she has twa sparkling roguish een	C
	-
V	F
	-
Her looks are like the vernal May	G
When evening Phoebus shines serene	C
While birds rejoice on every spray	G
An' she has twa sparkling roguish een	C
	-
VI	F
	-
Her hair is like the curling mist	H
That climbs the mountain sides at e'en	C
When flow'r reviving rains are past	I
An' she has twa sparkling roguish een	C
	-
VII	F
	-
Her forehead's like the show'ry bow	J
When gleaming sunbeams intervene	C
And gild the distant mountain's brow	J
An' she has twa sparkling roguish een	C
	-
VIII	F
	-
Her cheeks are like yon crimson gem	K
The pride of all the flow'ry scene	C
Just opening on its thorny stem	K
An' she has twa sparkling roguish een	C
	-
IX	B
	-
Her teeth are like the nightly snow	C
When pale the morning rises keen	C
While hid the murmuring streamlets flow	C
An' she has twa sparkling roguish een	C
	-
X	B
	-
Her lips are like yon cherries ripe	L
That sunny walls from Boreas screen	C
They tempt the taste and charm the sight	M
An' she has twa sparkling roguish een	C
	-
XI	B
	-
Her teeth are like a flock of sheep	N
With fleeces newly washen clean	C
That slowly mount the rising steep	N
An' she has twa glancin' roguish een	C
	-
XII	B
	-
Her breath is like the fragrant breeze	B
That gently stirs the blossom'd bean	C
When Phoebus sinks behind the seas	B
An' she has twa sparkling roguish een	C
	-
XIII	B
	-
Her voice is like the ev'ning thrush	O
That sings on Cessnock banks unseen	C
While his mate sits nestling in the bush	P
An' she has twa sparkling roguish een	C
	-
XIV	F
	-
But it's not her air her form her face	B
Tho' matching beauty's fabled queen	C
'Tis the mind that shines in ev'ry grace	B
An' chiefly in her roguish een	C
