Another illustrious song by the celebrated Scottish poet Robert Burns. • This song comes from his book The Merry Muses of Caledonia , available here: • http://www.robertburns.org.uk/Assets/... • The music is available here: • http://abcnotation.com/getResource/re... • The tune is the same as Cauld Kale in Aberdeen (popularly sung by Ewan MacColl and Jean Redpath) and The Reels of Bogie , rather less popularly sung by me: • • Willard Losinger Performs The Reels ... • I'll paste the lyrics and my chords below. For help with specific words, check out The Online Scotts Dictionary: • http://scots-online.org/dictionary/sc... • Some sources give the title as Gie the Lass her Fairing rather than Fairin. According to that dictionary, the definition of Fairin is A present from a fair, especially an edible one. Punishment, deserts. The word Fairing does not appear. • So, give a lass a fairin, and she'll give you a hairy thing, that's really worth the wearing, and of which she won't be sparing. • Cowp the creels = Turn a somersault, fall head over heels. • Hochmagandie = Fornication. • All in all, an excellent song. As promised, here are the chords: • • O [A] gie the [D] lass her [E] fairin lad, • O [A] gie the [D] lass her [E] fairin, • An [A] something [D] else she’ll [E] gie to you, • That’s [A] waly [D] worth the [E] wearin; • Then [A] cowp her ower a- [E] -mang the creels, • When [A] ye hae taen your [E] brandy, • The [A] mair she bangs the [D] less she squeels, • An [A] hey for [E] houghma- [A] -gandie. • • Then [A] gie the [D] lass a [E] fairin, lad, • O [A] gie the [D] lass her [E] fairin, • An [A] she’ll gie [D] you a [E] hairy thing, • An [A] o it [D] be na [E] sparin; • Then [A] cowp her ower a- [E] -mang the creels, • An [A] bar the door wi [E] baith your heels, • The [A] mair she bangs the [D] less she squeels, • An [A] hey for [E] houghma- [A] -gandie.
