As Jenny sat down wi' her wheel by the fire, An thought on the time that was fast fleein' She said to hersel', wi' a heavy heigh hee; O, a' body's like to get married but me!
 * She said, &c.

My youthfu' companions are a' worn awa, And tho' I've had wooers mysel', ane or twa, Yet a lad to my mind I ne er yet could see: O, a' body's like to get married but me!
 * Yet a lad, &c.

There's Lowrie, the lawyer, wad hae me fu' fair Who has baith a house an a yard o' his ain; But before I'd gang to it, I rather wad die; A wee stumpin' body! he'll never get me!
 * But before, &c.

There's Dickie, my cousin, frae Lun'on come down, Wi fine yellow buckskins that dazzled the town.
