Andy M. Stewart - Is There For Honest Poverty (For A' That) Lyrics
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.ChorusFor a' that, an' a' that,And twice as meikle's a' that;The bonie lass that I loe bestShe'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 stillA mortal sin to thraw that.For a' that, &c.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?For a' that, &c.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.For a' that, &c.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.For a' that, &c.
