Inspiring bold John Barleycorn! What dangers thou canst make us scorn! Wi' tippenny, we fear nae evil; Wi' usquabae, we'll face the devil!

More from Robert Burns

  1. That hour, o' night's black arch the keystane.
  2. As Tammie glow'red, amazed, and curious, The mirth and fun grew fast and furious.
  3. Nae man can tether time or tide.
  4. Her cutty sark, o' Paisley harn, That while a lassie she had worn, In longitude tho' sorely scanty, It was her best, and she was vauntie.
  5. But pleasures are like poppies spread- You seize the flow'r, its bloom is shed; Or like the snow falls in the river- A moment white-then me…
  6. 'Weel done, Cutty Sark!'
  7. Kings may be blest, but Tam was glorious, O'er a' the ills o' life victorious.
  8. Ah, Tam! Ah! Tam! Thou'll get thy fairin! In hell they'll roast you like a herrin!
