GUEST,Bruce O. a man's a man for a' that (Burns) (9) RE: a man's a man for a' that 26 Feb 01

Thanks, Mark.

[From NLS MS 2910. Sorry, but this is all I copied. Had I realized at the time that it was a real contemporary Jacobite song, I'd have copied all of it.]

A New Song.      Tune: Lady Mackintosh's Reel

That Georgie reigns in Jamie's stead
I'm grieved yet scorn to shaw that
I'll neer look down, nor hang my head
On Rebel whigs for a that
        For a' that and a that
        And twice as mickle's a that
        Hes bonny oer the hill the night
        That will be King for a that.
