MY heart is a breaking dear TittieA
Some counsel unto me come len'B
To anger them a' is a pityA
But what will I do wi' Tam GlenB
-

I'm thinking wi' sic a braw fellowC
In poortith I might mak a fenB
What care I in riches to wallowC
If I maunna marry Tam GlenB

There's Lowrie the Laird o' DumellerD
Gude day to you brute he comes benB
He brags and he blaws o' his sillerD
But when will he dance like Tam GlenB

My minnie does constantly deave meA
And bids me beware o' young menB
They flatter she says to deceive meA
But wha can think sae o' Tam GlenB

My daddie says gin I'll forsake himE
He'd gie me gude hunder marks tenB
But if it's ordain'd I maun take himE
O wha will I get but Tam GlenB

Yestreen at the Valentine's dealingF
My heart to my mou' gied a sten'B
For thrice I drew ane without failingF
And thrice it was written Tam GlenB

The last Halloween I was waukinB
My droukit sark sleeve as ye kenB
His likeness came up the house staukinB
And the very grey breeks o' Tam GlenB

Come counsel dear Tittie don't tarryA
I'll gie ye my bonie black henB
Gif ye will advise me to marryA
The lad I lo'e dearly Tam GlenB
