John Anderson My Jo

Lyrics

John Anderson, my jo, John Anderson, my jo,
 When we were first acquent; (acquent-acquainted)
 Your locks were like the raven,
 Your bonie brow was brent; (bonny-beautiful, brent-polished new)
 But now your brow is beld, John, (beld-bald)
 And your locks are like the snaw; (snaw-snow)
 But blessings on your frosty pow, (pow-head)
 John Anderson, my jo.
 John Anderson, my jo,
 We climb the hill thegither; (thegither-together)
 And manys a cantie day, John, (cantie-great)
 We've had wi' ane anither: (one anither- together)
 Now we maun totter down, John, (maun totter down-must climb down)
 And hand in hand we'll go,
 To sleep thegither at the foot,
 John Anderson, my jo.
