Bridegroom, she says, you'll spoil the dance,
And at the ring you'll aye l>e lag,
Unless like Willie ye advance,
O ! Willie has a wanton leg :
For we't he learns us a' to steer,
And foremost aye bears up the ring ;
We will find nae sic dancingliere,
If we want Willie's wanton fling.

Woo'd an' married an' a'.
Woo'd an' married an' a' ;
And was she nae very weei aff,
W^as woo'd an' married an' a' ?
The bride cam out o' the byre,
An' O as she dighted her cheeks !
Sirs, I'm to be married the night,
An' has neither blankets nor sheet? -

Nor scarce a coverlet too ;
The bride that has a' to borrow,
Has e'en right meikle ado.

As he cam in frae the plough .-.
O hand yer tongue, my dochter,
And ye's get gear enough ;
Bridegroom, she says, you'll spoil the dance,
And at the ring you'll aye l>e lag,
Unless like Willie ye advance,
O ! Willie has a wanton leg :
For we't he learns us a' to steer,
And foremost aye bears up the ring ;
We will find nae sic dancingliere,
If we want Willie's wanton fling.
