My wooer he caperM as he'd been in drink,
And vow'd that I was a dear lassie.
I spier'd for my cousin, fu' couthie and sweet.
If she had recover'd her hearin 1 ;
And how my auld shoon fited her shachel'd feet,
Gude safe us ! how he fell a swearin'.
He begg'd me, for Gudesake, that Fd be his wife.
Or else I wad kill him wi 1 sorrow ;
Sae just to preserve the poor body in life,
I think I shall wed him to-morrow.
