To fell her poor Jenny for filler an' lan'.
 * Bad luck, &c.


 * He's always compleenin',
 * Frae morning till e'enin',

He hosts and he hirples the weary day lang,
 * He's doyl't and he's dozin,
 * His blude it is frozen,

O! dreary's the night wi' a crazy auld man!


 * He hums and he hankers,
 * He frets and he cankers

I never can please him, do a' that I can:
 * He's peevish and jealous
 * Of a' the young fellows:

O! dool on the day I met wi' an auld man!


 * My auld auntie Katie
 * Upon me take pity;

I'll do my endeavour to follow her plan;
 * I'll cross him and rack him,
 * Until I heart-break him,

And then his auld brass will buy me a new pan.
