3 O kind sir, she said be civil

For you will waken my dadda,

With your, &c.

He never minded what she said,

But carried on his stroke,

With his, &c.

Till he got his job done,

Then he began to joke,

With his, &c.

Have you got ony dogs about the house,

Or ony cats ava,

With his, &c.

For I'm fear'd they'll cut my meal pocks,

Throw them against the wa',

With a, &c.

O deil tak your meal pocks,

My maidenhead's awa,

With your, &c.

The lassie she got up again,

Three hours before 'twas day,

With a, &c.

For to gie the beggar hansel

Before he went awa,

With his, &c.

She went into the cellar,

To draw a pot of ale;

With a, &c.

And the beggar follow'd after,

And did the joke again,

With his, &c.
