Out fpake the bride's father,
As he came iri'frae the plough,
had ye' re tongue, my doughter,
And ye's get^gear enough;
The ftirk that ftands i' th' tether,
And our bra' bafin'd yade
Will carry ye hame your corn;
What wad ye be at, ye jade?
Woo'd and married, &c.
Out fpake the bride's mithef,
What d_l needs a' this pride!
1 had nae a plaek in my pouch
That night I was abrid^;
My gown was linfy-woolfy,
And ne'er a fark ava;
And ye hae ribbons and bufkins,
Mae than ane or twa.
Woocl and married, &c.
What's the matter? quo' Willie,
Tho' we be fcant o' claiths,
W'-'Il creep the nearer the gither,
A vi we'l] (more a' the fleas:
-Simmer is coming on,
And we'll get teats of woo;
And we'll get a lafs o' our ain,
And fhe'll fpin claiths anew.
Woo'd and married, &c
Out fpake the bride's brither,
As he came in wi' the kie,
Poor Willie had ne'er a tane ye,
Had he kent ye as well as I;
For you're baith proud and faucy,
And nae for a poor man's wife;
Gin I cannaget a better,
Ife never tak ane i' my life.
Woo'd and married, &c.
Out fpake the bride's fifter,
As fhe came in frae the byre,
gin I were but married!
It's a' that T defire:
But we poor fo'k maun live fingle,
And do the beft we can;
1 dinna care what T-fhou'd want,-
If I-cou'd get but a man.
Woo'd and married.&c.
