DRUNKEN WIFE OF GALLOWAY.

OWN in yon meadow

a couple did tarry,

The wife he drank naething

but ack and canary,

To her friends He complain’d

of her right early,

Oh! gin my wife

wad drink hooly and fairly.

She’s drunken her tockings

ae has he her hoon,

And he has drunken

her bonny new gown;

She’s drunkan her ark

that cover’d her early,

Oh! gin my wife

wad drink hooly and fairly.

Firt he drank crummie,

and then he drank garie,
