THE WOOING OF JENNY AND JOCK.
Tune — Hey^ Jenny, come down to Jock.
E,OB*s Jock cam to woo our Jenny,
On ae feast-day when he was fou ;
She buskit her, and made her bonnie,
When she heard Jock was come to woo :
She bm-nish'd her, baith breist and brow,
Made her as clear as ony clock.
Then spake our dame, and said, I trow
Ye're come to woo our Jenny, Jock !
Ay, dame, says he, for that I yearn
To lout my head, and sit down by you.
Then spak' our dame, and said, My bairn
Has tocher of her awn to gie you.
Te-hee ! quo Jenny ; Keek, I see you ;
Minnie, this man makes but a mock.
Why say ye sae ? now leeze me o' you !
I come to woo your Jenny, quo Jock.
My bairn has tocher o' her awn.
Although her friends do nane her lend :
A stirk, a staig, an acre sawn,
A goose, a gryce, a clocking-hen ;
Twa kits, a cogue, a kirn there-ben,
A kaira, but and a kaiming-stock ;
Of dishes and ladles nine or ten :
Come ye to woo our Jenny, Jock ?
A troch, a trencher, and a tap,
A taings, a tuUie, and a tub,
A sey-dish, and a milking caup,
A graip into a gi'uip to grub,
A shod-shool of a hollan club,
A froth-stick, can, a creel, a knock,
