No Half Measure

[Verse 1]
Oh, Johnny my man, do you no think o' risin'
The day is weel spent and the night's coming on
Your siller it's a' deen and yer stoupes lie before ye
So rise, my man Johnny, aye and come awa' hame

[Verse 2]
What's that I hear speakin' sae kindly?
I ken it's the voice o' my ain wifie, Jean
Come here, my dear lassie, and sit doon beside me
For there's room in this tavern for mair forbye me

[Verse 3]
Oh, but Johnny my man, yer brains are a' greetin'
Nae meal in the barrel tae fill wee wymеs
While ye're sat hеre drinkin' they're crying and lamenting
So rise, my man Johnny, aye and come awa' hame

[Verse 4]
Jean, dae ye no' mind the time that we courted
On a bed of primroses we baith did sit doon
Pickin' at the flowers, content in our company
Ye ne'er thought it lang, love, nor saught tae go hame

[Verse 5]
She said weel dae I mind the times that ye mention
But they days have passed love and will ne'er come again
Just think on the present, we'll try tae amend it
So rise, my man Johnny, and come awa' hame

[Verse 6]
When Johnny rose up, and he threw the door open
Sayin', "A curse on the tavern that first let me in
And a curse on the whisky that mak's me sae drouthy
So fare ye well, whiskey, for I'm awa' hame"
