Literature Network » Robert Burns » Poems And Songs Of Robert Burns » Song--I Hae a Wife O' My Ain
I Hae a wife of my ain,
I'll partake wi' naebody;
I'll take Cuckold frae nane,
I'll gie Cuckold to naebody.
I hae a penny to spend,
There--thanks to naebody!
I hae naething to lend,
I'll borrow frae naebody.
I am naebody's lord,
I'll be slave to naebody;
I hae a gude braid sword,
I'll tak dunts frae naebody.
I'll be merry and free,
I'll be sad for naebody;
Naebody cares for me,
I care for naebody.
