’MANG THE GENTRY AT AYR
Ance mair again we’re doon the water,
A change of Air we’ve come tae seek,
The best o’ lodgin’s we hae gotten,
Our bill,it’s fifteen bob a week.
At Shanter’s Green we’re a’ residin’,
’Mang the very best o’, gentry folk.
Oor landlady is a winsome body,
Aye ready for to crack a joke
Sae gin ye come tae see oor mansion,
We’ll mak’ a shake doon on the flair.
And ye shall get a thousand welcomes,
W’ the best o’ cheer, In dear auld Ayr.
Noo a’ ye chaps wha seek for pleasure,
Pack up yer duds and come awa’;
At Ayr there’s lots o’ winsome lasses,
The likes o’ them ye never saw.
