the

DRUNKEN WIFE OF GALLOWAY.

DOWN in yon meadow
a couple did tarry,
The wife ſhe drank naething
but ſack and canary,
To her friends He complain’d
of her right early,
Oh! gin my wife
wad drink hooly and fairly.


She’s drunken her ſtockings
ſae has ſhe her ſhoon,
And ſhe has drunken
her bonny new gown;
She’s drunkan her ſark
that cover’d her early,
Oh! gin my wife
wad drink hooly and fairly.


Firſt ſhe drank crummie,
and then ſhe drank garie,
