This is it, I think - I'm too lazy to look for it elsewhere. As sung by The McCalmans on their 'Ettrick Shepherd' LP (1980).
LADIES' EVENING SONG (Trad / James Hogg) Oh the glass is no' for you, bonnie laddie O The glass is no' for you, bonnie laddie O The glass is no' for you For it dyes your manly brow And it fills you roarin' fu', bonnie laddie O Then drive us not away wi' your drinkin' O We like your presence mair than you're thinkin' O How happy will you be In our blithesome companye Taking innocence and glee for your drinking O Now your e'en are glancing bright, bonnie laddie O Wi' a pure and joyful light, bonnie laddie O But at ten o'clock at night Tak' a lady's word in plight We will see anither sight, bonnie laddie O There's a right path and a wrong, bonnie laddie O Oh you needna argue lang, bonnie laddie O For the mair you taste and see O' our harmless companye Aye the happier you'll be, bonnie laddie O
