An O, my Eppie, My Jewel, my Eppie! Wha wad na be happy Wi' Eppie Adair! By Love, and by Beauty; By Law, and by Duty; I swear to be true to My Eppie Adair! An O, my Eppie, My Jewel, my Eppie! Wha wad na be happy Wi' Eppie Adair! A' Pleasure exile me; Dishonour defile me, If e'er I beguile thee, My Eppie Adair! An O, my Eppie, My Jewel, my Eppie! Wha wad na be happy Wi' Eppie Adair!
This is a song by Robert Burns. It was written in 1790 and is read here by Billy Boyd.
