woo'd, and mar - ried, and a'?
The bride cam out o' the byre,
And, 0, as she (lighted her cheeks !
Sirs, I 'm to be married the night,
And have neither blankets nor sheets ;
Have neither blankets nor sheets,
Nor scarce a coverlet too ;
The bride that has a' thing to borrow,
Has e'en right muckle ado.
Woo'd, and married, and a',
Married, and woo'd, and a' !
And was she nae very weel off,
That was woo'd, and married, and a' ?
Out and spake the bride's father,
As he cam in frae the pleugh ;
O, haud your tongue, my dochter,
And ye 'se get gear eneugh ;
The stirk stands i' th' tether,
And our bra' bawsint yade
Will carry ye hame your corn—
What wad ye be at, ye jade ?
