AS I LOOKED O'ER YON CASTLE WA'.
Tune—"Cumnock Psalms."
"Cumnock Psalms.
"'As I looked o'er yon castle wa',
I spied a grey goose and a gled,' &c.
As I looked o'er yon castle wa',
I spied a grey goose and a gled;
They had a feight between them twa,
An' O, as their twa hurdies gaed.
Wi' a hey ding it in, an' a how ding it in,
An' a hey ding it in, it's lang to-day.
Fal lary tele, tale, lary tale,
Fal lary tal, lal, lary tay.
She heav'd up and he strack down,
Between them twa they made a m—w;
And ilka fart that the carlin gae.
It's four o' them wad filled a bowe.
With a hey, &c.
Temper your tail the carle cried,
Temper your tale by Venus' law;
Gird hame your gear, gudeman, she cried,
Wha the deil can hinder the wind tae blaw.
With a hey, &c.
