Gif I ſeek but ae bawbee,
ſhe'll ſcald and ſhe'll curſe,
She lives like a Queen,
I ſerimpet and barely,
Oh gin my wife
wad drink hooly and fairly!


A pint with her kimmers
I wad her allow
But when ſhe ſits down
ſhe drink’s till ſhe’s fou,
And when ſhe is fou
ſhe’s unco canſtarie,
Oh gin my wife
wad drink hooly and fairly.


When ſhe gaes to the cauſey.
ſhe roars and ſhe pants,
Has no dread of her neighbours,
nor minds the houſe wants;
Roar up ſome fooliſh lilt.
like up thy heart charlie,
Oh gin may wife
wad drink hooly and fairly.


And when ſhe comes hame,
ſhe lays on the lads,
