The

Y let us a' to the bridal,

for there will be lilting there,

For Jocky's to be marry'd to Maggy,

the laſs wi' the gouden hair.

And there will be lang-kail and pottage,

and bannocks of barley-meal;

And there will be a good ſa't herring,

to reliſh a cog of good ale.

Fy let us a' to the bridal, &c.

And there will be Sandy the ſouter,

and Will wi' the meikle mou';

And there will be Tam the bluter,

with Andrew the tinker, I trow:

And there will be bow'd legged Robbie,

with thumbleſs Katy's goodman;

And there will be blue-cheek'd Dowbie,

and Lawrie the laird of the land.

And there will be ſow-libber Patie,

and pluky-fac'd Wat i' the mill,

Capper-nos'd Patie and Gibbie,

that wins in the how of the hill;

And there will be Alaſter Sibbie,

wha in wi' black Beſſy did mool,

With ſnivelling Lilly and Tibby,

the laſs that ſtands aft on the ſtool.
