 that I cannot tell the cause man,

'Tis surely for to prop them up,

for scar of backward fa’s man.

That they get mony backward fa’s

but few against their will man.

And what makes you so vogie, &c.

And there’s our creelman’s daughters,

with silks they’re drest so bra’ man;

and that’s against the law man:

And when they do fell one away,

they’d muckle need of twa’ man,

And O but ye be vogie lassie, &c.

There’s mussel meg and sister Jean,

they make a gallant show man,

With silver buckles in their shoon,

their cry is piss and go man.

And the milk-maids these airy jades,

the de’il fit on their doup man,

They’re like to poison honest folk,

by pissing in their stoup man.

And vow but ye be bra' lassie, &c

’Tis at fifteen they are right keen,

for to be made a wife man;
