lyrics

‘Tis I have seven braw new Gowns,
And ither seven better to mak,
And yet for a’ my new Gowns
My Woer has turn’d his Back.
Besides I have seven Milk Ky,
And Sandy he has but three;
And yet for a’ my good Ky,
The Laddie winna ha’e me.

My Dady’s a Delver of Dikes,
My Mither can card and spin,
And I am a fine fodgel Lass,
And the Siller comes linkin in:
The Siller comes linkin in,
And it is fou fair to see,
And fifty Times wow! O wow!
What ails the Lads at me.

When ever our Bauty does bark,
Then fast to the Door I rin,
To see gin ony young Spark
Will light and venture but in:
But never a ane will come in,
Tho mony a ane gaes by,
Syne far Ben the House I rin,
And a weary Wight am I.

When I was at my first Pray’rs,
I pray’d but anes i’the Year,
I wish’d for a handsome young Lad,
And a Lad with muckle Gear.
When I was at my neist Prayers,
I pray’d but now and than,
I fash’d na my Head about Gear,
If I get a handsome young Man.

Now when I’m at my last Prayers,
I pray on baith Night and Day,
And O! if a Beggar wad come,
With that same Beggar I’d gae.
And O what’ll come o’ me,
And O what’ll I do,
That sic a braw Lassie as I
Shou’d die for a Woer I trow!
