 THE DRUCKEN WIFE O' GALLOWA. Down in yon meadow a couple did tarry, The goodwife she drank naething but sack and canary; The goodman complain'd to her friends right early, O! gin my wife wad drink hooly and fairly. First she drank Crummie, and syne she drank Garie, And syne she drank my bonny grey ma- rie, That carried me thro' as the dubs end the lairie, O gin my wife, &c. She drank her hose, she drank her shoon Syne she drank her bonny new gown; She drank her sark that cover'd her rarely, O gin my wife, &c. Wad she drink but her ain things I wada na care,
