JOHN ANDERSON, my jo, John, | |
When we were first acquent, | |
Your locks were like the raven, | |
Your bonnie brow was brent; | |
But now your brow is beld, John, | 5 |
Your locks are like the snow; | |
But blessings on your frosty pow, | |
John Anderson, my jo! | |

John Anderson, my jo, John, | |
We clamb the hill thegither; | 10 |
And monie a canty day, John, | |
We've had wi' ane anither: | |
Now we maun totter down, John, | |
But hand in hand we'll go, | |
And sleep thegither at the foot, | 15 |
John Anderson, my jo. | |
Anyone who has been married for a long time will
