A Wee Drap o' Whisky

A wee drap o' whisky I tak' when I'm weary
My blood for to warm and my spirits to cheer
And when I sit doon I intend to be merry
So fill up a bumper and bring it round here.

I can scarce get a hauf oor when I am weary
To tell you the truth I am wrocht very sore
My ploo and my lassie are a' my whole pleasure
We'll baith tak' a kiss an' hae a drap mair.

Contented I sit and contented I labour
Contented I drink and contented I sing
I never dispute nor fa' oot wi' my neebors
For that is a mean and contentious thing.

Oh few, very few ever hear me compleenin'
Though oftimes the load of oppression I bear
Oh fat is the use o' a man aye compleenin'
For aye fan he tastes, he maun hae a drap mair.
