 He gript the lassie by the middle jimp,

Laid her against the wa'.

With his, &c.

O kind sir, she said, be civil,

For you will waken my dada.

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.
