24 Ye never saw green cheese but your een reel’d

Ye’re as daft as ye’re days auld

Ye’re a good seeker but an ill finder

Ye’re nae chicken for a’ your cheeping

Ye’re like Mackay’s mare, ye brake fairly aff

Ye’re good enough but ye’re no brav enough

Ye’re no sae poor as ye peep

Ye’re of sae mony minds ye’ll never be married

Ye’re never pleased fou nor fasting

Ye’re unco good ard ye’ll grow fair

Ye‘re sair fash’d hauding naething together

Ye’re no fed on deaf nuts

Ye’re busy seeking the thing that’s no tint

Ye’re like the hens ye rin aye to the heap

Ye’re fear’d for the day ye never saw

Ye‘re best when ye're sleeping

Ye’re a sweet nut if ye were well cracked

Ye're no light where ye lean a’

Ye're come aff the house of Harletilhim

Ye soon weary o’ well doing

Ye’s get your brose out of the lee side of the pot

Ye shape shoon by your ain shachled feet

Your tongue's nae slander

Your tongue rins aye before your wit

Ye watna where a blessing may light

Ye was never born at that time of the year

Young folk may die, but auld folk maun the

Young ducks may be auld geese

Your meal’s a’ deagh

Your head will never fit your father’s bonnet

Your thrift’s as good as the profit of a yell hen

Your wame thinks your wysen's cutted

Your purse was steeked when that was paid for

Your gear will never o’er gang you

Your minny’s milk is no out of your nose yet

FINIS.
