marc gunn - a man's a man for a'that lyrics

is there for honest poverty
that hangs his head, and a’ that;
the coward slave+we pass him by
we dare be poor for a’ that!
for a’ that, and a’ that
our toils obscure and a’ that
the rank is but the guinea’s stamp
the man’s the gowd for a’ that

what though on hamely fare we dine
wear hoddin grey, and a that;
gie fools their silks, and knaves their wine;
a man’s a man for a’ that:
for a’ that, and a’ that
their tinsel show, and a’ that;
the honest man, tho’ e’er sae poor
is king o’ men for a’ that

ye see yon birkie, caled a lord
what struts, and stares, and a’ that;
tho’ hundreds worship at his word
he’s but a coof for a’ that:
for a’ that, and a’ that
his ribband, star, and a’ that:
the man of independent mind
he looks and laughs at a’ that
a prince can make a belted knight
a marquis, duke, and a’ that;
but an honest man’s abon his might
good faith, he maunna for a’ that!
for a’ that, and a’ that
their dignities and a’ that;
the pith o’ sense, and pride o’ worth
are higher rank than a’ that

then let us pray that come it may
(as come it will for a’ that,)
that sense and worth, o’er a’ the earth
shall bear the gree, and a’ that
for a’ that, and a’ that
it’s coming yet for a’ that
that man to man, the world o’er
shall brothers be for a’ that
