16 lines✦
HE BAIRNS gat out wi’ an unco shout, The deuks dang o’er my daddie, O!The fien-ma-care, quo’ the feirrie auld wife, He was but a paidlin’ body, O!He paidles out, and he paidles in, An’ he paidles late and early, O!This seven lang years I hae lien by his side, An’ he is but a fusionless carlie, O. O haud your tongue, my feirrie auld wife, O haud your tongue, now Nansie, O:I’ve seen the day, and sae hae ye, Ye wad na ben sae donsie, O.I’ve seen the day ye butter’d my brose, And cuddl’d me late and early, O;But downa-do’s come o’er me now, And oh, I find it sairly, O!
