A Man's A Man for A' That

A Man's A Man for A' That - Duncan Macrae/Ian Wallace/Ron Goodwin

Is there for honesty poverty

That hings his head an' a' that;

The coward slave we pass him by

We dare be poor for a' that

For a' that an' a' that

Our toils obscure an' 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 an' a' that

Gie fools their silks and knaves their wine

A man's a man for a' that

For a' that an' a' that

Their tinsel show an' a' that

The honest man tho' e'er sae poor

Is king o' men for 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 an' a' that

For a' that an' a' that

It's coming yet for a' that

That man to man the world o'er

Shall brithers be for a' that
