Intro: G C Em D
Is Gthere for honest CPoverDty
That Ghangs his Emhead and Ca' that. D
The Gcoward slave we Cpass him Dby;
We Gdare be Empoor for Da' that!
For Ga' that, and Ca' Dthat.
Our Gtoils obG7scure andEm a' that.D
The Grank is but the Amguinea's A7stamp,
The Emman's a gowd for Da' that.
What Gthough on hamely Cfare we Ddine,
Wear Ghoddin Emgrey, and Ca' that. D
Give Gfools their silks, and Cknaves their Dwine;
A GMan's a EmMan for Da' that:
For Ga' that, and Ca' Dthat,
Their Gtinsel G7show, an'Em a' that; D
The Ghonest man, tho' Ame'er sae A7poor,
Is Emking o' men for Da' that.
Ye Gsee yon birkie, Cca'd &quDot;a lord",
Wha sGtruts, an' Emstares, an' Ca' that; D
Tho' Ghundreds worship Cat his Dword,
He's Gbut a Emcoof for Da' that:
For Ga' that, and Ca' Dthat,
His Gribband, G7star, an'Em a' that: D
The Gman o' indeAmpendent A7mind
He Emlooks an' laughs at Da' that.
A Gprince can make a Cbelted Dknight,
A Gmarquis, Emduke, an' Ca' that; D
But an Ghonest man's aCboon his Dmight,
Gude Gfaith, he Emmaunna faD' that!
For Ga' that, and Ca' Dthat,
Their GdignitG7ies an' Ema' that; D
The Gpity o' sense, and Ampride o' A7worth,
Are Emhigher rank than Da' that.
Then Glet us pray that Ccome it Dmay,
(As cGome it Emwill for Ca' that,)D
That GSense and Worth, o'er Ca' the Dearth,
Shall Gbear the Emgree, an' Da' that.
For Ga' that, and Ca' Dthat,
It's Gcoming G7yet forEm a' that, D
That GMan to Man, the Amworld o'eA7r,
Shall Embrothers be for Da' that.
