SWEET PHEMIE.
Sweet Phemie's smile did me beguile, And aft has made me heave a sigh ; Her een shine bright, like stare at night, When twinkling in the sky. Chorus.— How I love Phemie, nane can tell, How I love Phemie, nane can see; But it's engraven on my heart— I'll love her till the day I dee.
Oh ! she is fair heyond compare ; Her lips like cherries wet wi' dew ; Her cheeks are like the blooming rose ; Her heart is loving, warm and true. Chorus.— She is so modest in her mein ; Nae flow'r that blooms can chaster be; May clouds ne'er darken Phemie's smile, Nor dim the lustre o' her e'e. To make her mine is a' my wish, Kind fortune has nae mare to gie ; Grant me but this, I ask nae mare — Sweet Phemie's love is life to me.
Chorus. — She is modest in her mein, &c. CKAIGIEtEE.
