 3 They're sessioned and proclaim'd w An O I Wat they had great need, (speed Says she, I kent it was my creed, To get a man ere eel; Fair fa my cauty carlie, I'll marry my canty carlie, Then with my canty carlie I'll dance a twasome reel, At length the marriage day appearas, But O alas were great their fears, I wat they baith shed saut tears, The drift blew wonerous keen, Por the day was dreary, The bride she wasna cheary, The bridegroom he was weary, Wi' lying lang him leen; He says my friends will a convene, Young men as brisk as e'er was seen To bring my bride frae Aberdeen, They'll run and winna bide, Now lads I am not joking, It is a thing provoking, And will be very slocking, For me to want my bride. Now rise up cook get ale and saps, to crane the lads frae kyts to craps, To gar them big in lasses taps, As they bring hame my bride, Mak haste and dinna tarry For I'm in haste to marry, For fear that I miscarry, Before I get my bride, They row their legs with straen rapes, Magirkies on their heads for caps, They're busked up like twa boescapes.-
