3 Had Eppy's apron bidden down,

the kirk wad ne er a keod it;

Bat when the word's gane through the town:

alake how can she mend it !

Up stairs, &c.

Now Tam maun face the minister,

and she mauu nount the pilar;

And that's the way that they maun gae,

for poor fo k has nje si ler.

Up stairs, &c.

Now he'd your tongue, my daughter young

reply'd the kinly mither,

Get Johnny's hand in haly band,

syne wap your wealth together.

Up stairs, &c.

I'm o' the mind, if he be kind,

ye'll do your part discreetly;

Ad prove a wife, wil gar his life,

and barrel run right sweetly.

I WOU'D IF I WAS NOT SO YOUNG

IN my holyday gown, and my and faſhiond hat,

laſt monday I went to the ſair,

he'd up my bed and I'll tell you for what,

young Roger I gueſs'd wou'd be there :

He woo's me to marry, whenever we meet,

there's bonny ſure dwells on his tongue

He hugs me ſo cloſe and kiſſ s ſo ſweet,

that I wou'd, I wou'd it I was not ſo young.
