John Anderson My Jo

John Anderson my jo, John,
 When we were first acquent,
Your locks were like the raven,
 Your bonie brow was brent;
But now your brow is beld, John,
 Your locks are like the snaw;
But blessings on your frosty pow,
 John Anderson my jo.

John Anderson my jo, John,
 We clamb the hill thegither;
And monie a canty day, John,
 We’ve had wi’ ane anither:
Now we maun totter down, John,
 But hand in hand we’ll go,
And sleep thegither at the foot,
 John Anderson my jo.
