 And when I gads wife

she wadna bide therein,

Till I gat a hurl-barrow

to hurl her out and in.

The hurl-barrow brake,

my wife she gat a fa';

And the foul fa' the burl-barrow,

cripple wife an' a'

She wadna eat nae bacon,

she wadna eat nae beef,

She wadna eat nae lang-kail,

for fyling o' her teeth.

But she wad eat the bonnie bird,

that sits upon the tree,

Gang down the burn, Davie, love,

And I sall follow thee.
