MY LOVE'S GOT A RED, RED NOSE

MY LUVE'S LIKE A RED, RED ROSE
by Robert Burns

O My luve's like a red, red rose,
That's newly sprung in June,
O my Luve's like the melodie
That sweetly played to tune!

As fair as thee, my bonnie lass,
So deep in love am I;
And I will love thee still, my dear,
Till a'the seas gang dry.

Till a'the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun;
I shall love thee still, my dear,
While the sands o' life shall run.

And fare thee well, my only Love,
And fare thee weel a while!
And I will come again, my Love,
Though it were ten thousand mile.

MY LOVE'S GOT A RED, RED NOSE
a parody by Countrymom

O My love's got a red, red nose
From drinking too much wine;
O my love came staggering in
To kiss these lips of mine!

So tipsy thee, my own true love,
I have to hesitate;
Before you kiss these ruby lips
Some coffee I will make!

Till a' the bleariness is gone, my dear,
I'm just not "in the mood";
To love a man who's drunk too much
And is acting rather crude!

Take off the boots, and settle down
An' sleep well with your swill;
Tomorrow's yet another day
And maybe then, a kiss - I will!
