028 Come, Let Me Take Thee

Tune: Cauld Kail

1．

Come, let me take thee to my breast,

And pledge we ne'er shall sunder,

And I shall spurn as vilest dust

The world's wealth and grandeur!

And do I hear my Jeanie own

That equal transports move her?

I ask for dearest life alone,

That I may live to love her.

2．

Thus in my arms, wi' a' her charms,

I clasp my countless treasure,

I'll seek nae mair o' Heav'n to share

Than sic a moment's pleasure!

And by thy een sae bonie blue

I swear I'm thine for ever,

And on thy lips I seal my vow,

And break it shall I never!
