John Anderson My Jo

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

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