Nor you gang and toil in the cauld fields again.
As little think on the beginning o't.
O' sheep we hae scores, and o' kye twenty -five,
Far less we hae seen wad hae made us fu' blythe ;
But thrift and industry maks poor fouk to thrive,
A clear proof o' that is the spinning o't.
Although at our marriage our stock was but sma',
And heartless and hard the beginning o't,
When ye was engaged the ousen to ca',
And first my young skill tried the spinning o't :
But now we can dress in our plaidies sae sma\
Fu' neat and fu' clean gae to kirk or to ha',
And ay look as blythe as the best o' them a' ;
Sae luck has been at the beginning o't.
TWINE WEEL THE PLAIDEN.
