Burns sang of bonny Lesley As she gaed o'er the border, -- Gaed like vain Alexander, To spread her conquests farther.
I sing another Lesley, Wee girlie, more alluring, Who stays at home, the wise one, Her conquests there securing.
A queen, too, is my Lesley, And gracious, though blood-royal, My heart her throne, her kingdom, And I a subject loyal.
Long shall you reign, my Lesley, My pet, my darling dearie, For love, oh, little sweetheart, Grows never old or weary.
