FY, LET US A
}
TO THE BRIDAL.
And fy, let us a’ to the bridal,
For there will be lilting there;
For Jock’s to be married to Jenny,
The lafs wi’ the gowden hair.
And there will be lang kail and caftocks.
And bannocks o’ barley meal;
And there will be gude fa’t herrings,
To relifh a cogue o’ gude ale.
And, fy, let us a’ to the bridal, &c.
And there will be Sawndy the futor.
And Will wi’ the meikle mow;
And there will be Tam the bluter,
Wi’ Andrew the tinkler, I trow.
And there will be bow’d-legged Robie,
With thumblefs Katie’s gude-man;
And there will be blue-cheeked Dobie,
And Lawrie the laird of the land.
And, fy, let us a’ to the bridal, &c.
Scrap’d haddocks, wilks, dulce, and tangles,
And a mill of gude fnifhin to prie ;
When weary with eating and drinking
We’ll rife up and dance till we die.
Then, fy, let us a’ to the bridal.
For there will be lilting there ;
For Jock’s to be married to Jenny,
The lafs wi’ the gowden hair.
And there will be girn-again Gibbie,
Wi’ his glaiket wife Jenny Bell;
And mifle-fhinn'd Mungo Mackapie,
The lad that was (kipper himfel’.
There lads and lafles in pearlings.
Will feaft i’ the heart of the ha’,
On fybows, and rifarts, and carlings.
That are baith fodden and raw.
And, fy, let us a’ to the bridal, &c.
And there will be laper’d milk kebbucks-
And fowens, and farles, and baps;
Wi’ fwats and well-fcraped paunches.
And brandy in (loups and in caps.
And there will be buckies and partans,
Wi’ (kink, to fup till ye rive;
And roads to road on a brander
Of dowks that were taken alive.
And, fy, let us a’ to the bridal, See.
