about
Written by Robert Burns. Full title is My Tocher's the jewel. A tocher is a dowry.
lyrics
Tocher
O meikle thinks my love O my beauty,
And meikle thinks my love O my kin,
but little thinks my love I ken brawlie
My tochers the jewel has charms for him
It's all for the apple he'll nourish the tree,
it's all for the honey he'll cherish the bee.
My laddie's sae meikle in love with the siller
He canna hae love tae spare for me.
Your profer O love 's an earnest penny,
my tocher's the bargain ye will buy.
And though ye be crafty I am cunning
Sae ye with another your fortune maun try.
You're like tae the timmer oh yon rotten wood
You're like tae the bark oh yon rotten tree
For ye are sae meikle in love wi' the siller
ye canna hae love tae spare for me.
O meikle thinks my love O my beauty,
And meikle thinks my love O my kin,
but little thinks my love I ken brawlie
My tochers the jewel has charms for him
It's all for the apple he'll nourish the tree,
it's all for the honey he'll cherish the bee.
My laddie's sae meikle in love with the siller
He canna hae love tae spare for me.
Your profer O love 's an earnest penny,
my tocher's the bargain ye will buy.
And though ye be crafty I am cunning
Sae ye with another your fortune maun try.
You're like tae the timmer oh yon rotten wood
You're like tae the bark oh yon rotten tree
For ye are sae meikle in love wi' the siller
ye canna hae love tae spare for me.
