O whistle, and I'll come to ye, my lad. By Burns, Robert. O whistle, and I'll come to ye, my lad, O whistle, and I'll come to ye, my lad; Tho' father, and mother, and a 'should gae mad, Thy Jeanie will venture wi' ye, my lad. But warily tent, when ye come to court me, And come nae unless the back-yett be a-jee; Syne up the back-style and let naebody see, And come as ye were na comin to me - And come as ye were na comin to me - O whistle, and I'll come to ye, my lad, O whistle, and I'll come to ye, my lad; Tho' father, and mother, and a 'should gae mad, Thy Jeanie will venture wi' ye, my lad. At kirk, or at market whene'er ye meet me, Gang by me as tho' that ye car'd nae a flie; But steal me a blink o' your bonie black e'e, Yet look as ye were na lookin at me - Yet look as ye were na lookin at me - O whistle, and I'll come to ye, my lad, O whistle, and I'll come to ye, my lad; Tho' father, and mother, and a 'should gae mad, Thy Jeanie will venture wi' ye, my lad. Ay vow and protest that ye care na for me, And whyles ye may lightly my beauty a wee; But court nae anither, tho' jokin ye be, For fear that she wyle your fancy frae me - For fear that she wyle your fancy frae me -
