VOCAL ENCHANTRESS. 429
Fair fa' the goodwife, and lend her good fale !
She gi'es us white bannocks to drink her ale ;
Syne if that her tippony chance to be fma'
We'll tak' a good-fcour o't, and ea't awa\
Todlen hame, todlen hame,
As round as a neep come todlen hame.
My kimmer and I lay down to ileep
And twa pint-ftoups at our bed's feet ;
And ay when we waken'd we drank them dry :
What think ye of my wee kimmer and I?
Todlen butt and todlen ben,
Sae round as my love comes todlen hame.
Leez me on liquor, my todlen dow,
Ye're ay fae good-humour'd when weeting your mou T ;
When fober, fae four ye'll fight with a flee,
That 'tis a blithe fight to the bairns and me
When todlen hame, todlen hame,
When round as a neep you come todlen hame.
Fair fa' the goodwife, and lend her good fale !
She gi'es us white bannocks to drink her ale ;
Syne if that her tippony chance to be fma'
We'll tak' a good-fcour o't, and ea't awa\
Todlen hame, todlen hame,
As round as a neep come todlen hame.
My kimmer and I lay down to ileep
And twa pint-ftoups at our bed's feet ;
And ay when we waken'd we drank them dry :
What think ye of my wee kimmer and I?
Todlen butt and todlen ben,
Sae round as my love comes todlen hame.
Leez me on liquor, my todlen dow,
Ye're ay fae good-humour'd when weeting your mou T ;
When fober, fae four ye'll fight with a flee,
That 'tis a blithe fight to the bairns and me
When todlen hame, todlen hame,
When round as a neep you come todlen hame.
