thinkin' o't, wi' thinkin' o't, wi' thinkin' o't, I'll aye be canty wi' thinkin' o't.
When I gang afield, and come hame at e'en,
I'll get my wee wifie fu' neat and fu' clean,
And a bonnie wee bairnie upon her knee,
That will cry papa or daddy to me.
Sae bide ye yet, &c.
An' if there should happen ever to be
A difference atween my wee wifie an' me,
In hearty good humour, although she be teas'd,
I'll kiss her and clap her until she be pleas'd.
Sae bide ye yet, &c.
" Bide ye Yet." The age of this tune is not known. The verses here published appeared anonymously in
D. Herd's Collection of Scottish Songs, about seventy years ago. Words to the same tune, beginning, "Alas, my
son, you little know," were composed by Miss Jenny Graham, eldest daughter of William Graham of Shaw, Esq.,
in Annandale. Burns spoke highly of these words ; which also were printed in Herd's Collection. See Museum
Hlustrations, vol. i., pp. 100 and 141.
