ROBIN's CURE for a BAD WIFE.
Robin's gane to the south country,
holland' green, holland;
And there he's courted a lady gay,
benty bows, Robin.
He's wed her, and he's brought her hame,
holland's green, holland;
But well I wat she's a dainty dame,
benty bows, Robin.
She winna wash she winna wring,
holland's green, holland;
For wearing of her gay gold ring,
benty bows, Robin.
She winna bake, she winna brew,
holland's green, holland;
For spoiling of her comely hew,
benty bows Robin.
She winna spin, she winna card,
holland's green, holland;
But she will play her with the Laird,
benty bows, Robin.
