And when I gads wife
she wadna bide therein,
Till I gat a hurl-barrow
to hurl her out and in.
The hurl-barrow brake,
my wife she gat a fa';
And the foul fa' the burl-barrow,
cripple wife an' a'
She wadna eat nae bacon,
she wadna eat nae beef,
She wadna eat nae lang-kail,
for fyling o' her teeth.
But she wad eat the bonnie bird,
that sits upon the tree,
Gang down the burn, Davie, love,
And I sall follow thee.
FINIS.
