Is There For Honest Poverty (For A That) lyrics

Tho women s minds, like winter winds,
May shift, and turn, an a that,
The noblest breast adores them maist-
A consequence I draw that.

Chorus

For a that, an a that,
And twice as meikle s a that;
The bonie lass that I loe best
She ll be my ain for a that.

Great love I bear to a the fair,
Their humble slave, an a that;
But lordly will, I hold it still
A mortal sin to thraw that.
For a that, &c.

But there is ane aboon the lave,
Has wit, and sense, an a that;
A bonie lass, I like her best,
And wha a crime dare ca that?
For a that, &c.

In rapture sweet this hour we meet,
Wi mutual love an a that,

But for how lang the flie may stang,
Let inclination law that.
For a that, &c.

Their tricks an craft hae put me daft.
They ve taen me in, an a that;
But clear your decks, and here s-"The Sex!"
I like the jads for a that.
For a that, &c.
