( 4 ) In Fife there liv’d a wicked Wife, And fhe has ta’en the gee, man; The door-barring caus’d the ftrife, And Sandy o’er the lee, man. Tarry woo frae Tweedside cam, Frae Aberdeen cauld kail man, Made gude Scotch brofe to fill our wame ; Could Donald M Donald fail,man? Dir.&c.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot ? Sae merry’s we hae been, man ! Yet ftill on Menie’s charms I doat, At Polwart on the green, man. Willie was a wanton Wag, And pufh’d about the jorurn ; While Rab the Ranter burft his bag, Playing the Reel o’ Tullochgorum. Dirum dum, &c.

A LOVE SONG.

Hard by a dear river, in the fweet month of May, In fearch of my true love I happen’d to ftray, I heard a young damfel there loudly complain, In forrow, for parting from her darling fwain.

O cruel parents wherever you be, That banifh’d my darling fweet Jamie from me, No other man breathing my favous fhall gain, The pride of all nature’s my own darling fwain.
