He's always compleenin frae mornin to e enin,
He hofts and he hirpls the weary d.y lang:
He's doyl't and he's do/in, his blude it is fro/en,
O, dreary's the night wi' a cra^y auld man!
He hums and he hankers, he frets and he cankers,
I .never can pleafe him, do a' that I can;
He's peevifh, and jealous of a' the young fellows, .
O, dool on the day I met wi' an auld man!
My auld auntie Katie upon me ^aks -pity,
I'll do my endeavour to follow her plan;
I'll cr)f'- him, and wrack him untill I heart break him,
And then his auld brafs will buy me a new pan. R

| Description | By James Johnson. 6 volumes. Edinburgh : Printed & sold by Johnson & Co., 1787-1803. Burns contributed largely to the work, and Stephen Clarke prepared the arrangements of most of the airs. ["The volumes of the Musical museum, as originally published, were 'Humbly dedicated to the Catch Club, instituted at Edinburgh June 1771.' On the completion of the sixth and last volume, in 1803, Johnson substituted a new set of title-pages, dedicating the work 'To the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland.'"--Laing's pref., to 1839 ed., v. 1, p. ii, foot-note]. |
