THE BONNIE WEE WIFE.

WaWat, sung by Madame Vestris, Mrs Ashe, and Miss Paton, at the Oratur and Music Festivals. Written by Hurne.

She is a winsome wee thing, She is a handsome wee things, She is a bonnie wee thing, This sweet wee wife o' mine. I never saw a fairer, I never lo'ed a dearer, And neist my heart I'll wear her, For fear my jewel tine.

She is a winsome wee thing, She is a handsome wee thing, She is a bonnie wee thing, This sweet wee wife o' mine.

The warld's wrack we share o't, The warstle and the care o't, Wi' her I'll blithely bear it, And think my love divine.
