And Joe kiss’d Molly, and Dorthy Draggletail,
And Kitty was a charming maid.
To carry the milk-pail.

Dame Durden’s servant maids and men,
They all began to mate.
’Twas Moll and Bet, &c.


O’ER THE MUIR AMANG THE

Amang the bonnie blooming heather,
There I met a bonnie lassie,
Keeping a’ her ewes thegither.

There I met a bonnie lassie,
Keeping a’ her ewes thegither.

In muir, or dale, pray tell me whither?
Says she, I tend the fleecy flocks
That feed amang the blooming heather.
O’er the muir, &c
