She feasts wi' her kinlmers on dainties enew,
Aye bowing and smirking, and dighting her
mou' ;
While I sit aside and am helpet but sparely ; — ■
O ! gin my wife wad feast hooly and fairly 1
Hooly and fairly 1 &c.
To fairs and to bridals, and preachings and a',
She gangs sae light-headed and busket sae braw.
Its ribbons and niantuas that gar me gae barely; —
1 gin my wife wad spend hooly and fairly 1
Hooly and fairly 1 &c.
In the kirk sic commotion last Sabbath she
made,
Wi' babs o' red roses and breast-knots o'erlaid.
The domine sticket his psalm very nearly ; —
1 gin my wife wad dress hooly and fairly 1
HOoly and fairly ! &c.
She's warring and fighting frae morning till e'en,
And if ye gainsay her, her eye glowrs sae keen j
wife wad drink hoo - ly and fair - ly 1
Then tongue, neive, and cudgel, she'll lay on ye sair
1 gin my wife wad strike hooly and fairly 1 [ly I
Hooly and fairly 1 &c.
When tir'd wi' her cantraps, she lies in her bed.
The wark a' neglecket, the house ill up-red.
When a' our good neighbours are stirring right ear-
Ol ginmy wife wad sleep hooly and fairly 1 [ly; — ■
Hooly and fairly 1 &c.
A word o' good counsel or grace she'll hear none.
She bardies the Elders, and mocks at Mess John ;
And back in his teeth his ain text She flings rarely ;— *
O ! gin my wife wad speak hooly and fairly I
Hooly and fairly 1 &c.
I wish I were single, I wish I were freed,
I wish I were doited, I" wish 1 were dead ;
Or she in the mools, to dement me nae mair, lay ;
What does't avail to cry hooly and fairly ?
Hooly and fairly, hooly and fairly 1
Wasting my breath to cry hooly and fairly 1

Soon my weary een I'll close,
Never more to waken, Jamie.
