i maun hae a wife - robert burns lyrics

i maun hae a wife
i maun hae a wife, whatsoe’er she be
an’ she be a woman, that’s enough for me.
cho: buy broom besoms! wha will buy them noo?
fine heather ringers, better never grew.
if that she be bonnie, i shall think her right,
if that she be ugly, where’s the odds at night?
o, an’ she be young, how happy i shall be
if that she be auld, the sooner she will dee.
if that she be fruitfu’, o what joy is there!
if she should be barren, less will be my care.
if she like a drappie, she and i’ll agree,
if she dinna like it, there’s the mair for me.
be she green or greym be she black or fair
let her be a woman, i shall seek nae mair.
