7 Then said the one unto other,

Here, man, tak ye my knife,

Do ye tak aff the auld man's ,

and kiss the guidwife.

But there snae water in the house,

and what shall we do than?

What aits ye at the pudding broo,

That into the pan.

O then up started our gudeman,

and an angry man was he,

Will ye kiss my wife before my een,

and scad me wi’ pudding bree.

Then up and guidwife,

Gied three skips on floor:

Gudeman ye've spoke the foremost word,

Get up and bar the door.

Wilt thou go, my bonnie lassie.

wilt thou go my braw lassie

Wilt thou go say I or no

to the braes aboon Bonaw, lassie.

Tho Donald hae na meikle phrase

wi’ lawland speeches fine lassie
