Hech, gudewife, ye're a flytin body,
flytin body;
Will yo hae, but, gude be prais'd,
the Wit ye want;
The puttin cow ſhould be aye a ⟨daddy⟩,
aye a daddy;
Mak na ſic an awſome reel.
Ye're a ſow, auld man,
Ye get ſou, auld man;
⟨For⟩ ſhame, auld man,
⟨To your⟩ wame, auld man;
⟨Pinch'd⟩ I win, wi' ſpinin tow,
A ⟨plack to⟩ clead ye're back and pow.
It's a lie, gudewife,
It's your tea, gudewife;
Na. na. gudewife,
Te ſpend a', gudewife,
⟨Dinna⟩ fa' on me pell-mell,
Ye like the drap fu' weel yourſel.
Ye's rue, auld gouk, your jeſt and frolic,
jeſt and frolic;
Dare ye ſay, goofe, I ever lik'd to tak
a drappy!
