First lines
Bobbie Burns and Bobbie Browning, / They're the boys I'd like to see. / Though I'm not the boy for Bobbie, / Bobbie is the boy for me!
Bobbie Browning was the good boy; / Turned the language inside out, / Wrote his plays and had his days, / Died -- and held his peace, no doubt.
Poor North Bobbie was the bad boy, -- / Bad, bad, bad, bad Bobbie Burns! / Loved and made the world his lover, / Kissed and barleycomed by turns.
London's dweller, child of wisdom, / Kept his counsel, took his toll; / Ayrshire's vagrant paid the piper, / Lost the game -- God save his soul!
