The fleepy bit lafsie fhe dreaded nae ill,
The fleepy bit lafsie fhe dreaded nae ill;
The weather was cauld and the lafsie lay ftill,
She thought that a Taylor could do her nae ill.
Gie me the groat again, cany young man,
Gie me the groat again, cany young man;
The day it is fhort and the night it is lang,
The deareft filler that ever I wan.
There's fomebody weary wi' lying her lane,
There's fomebody weary wi' lying her lane,
There's fome that are dowie, I trow wad be fain
To fee the bit Taylor come fkippin again.
