375. Song—The Deuks dang o'er my Daddie

 THE BAIRNS gat out wi’ an unco shout,
 The deuks dang o’er my daddie, O!
The fien-ma-care, quo’ the feirrie auld wife,
 He was but a paidlin’ body, O!
He paidles out, and he paidles in,
 An’ he paidles late and early, O!
This seven lang years I hae lien by his side,
 An’ he is but a fusionless carlie, O.



O haud your tongue, my feirrie auld wife,
 O haud your tongue, now Nansie, O:
I’ve seen the day, and sae hae ye,
 Ye wad na ben sae donsie, O.

I’ve seen the day ye butter’d my brose,
 And cuddl’d me late and early, O;
But downa-do’s come o’er me now,
 And oh, I find it sairly, O!
