THE DEUK'S DANG O'ER MY DADDIE

The bairns gat out wi' an unco shout, [children, surprising]
The deuk's dang o'er my daddie, O! [duck has knocked]
The fient ma care, quo' the feirie auld wife, [devil may, lusty]
He was but a paidlin body, O! [tottering creature]
He paidles out, and he paidles in,
An' he paidles late and early, O;
This seven lang years I hae lien by his side,
An' he is but a fusionless carlie, O. [pithless old fellow]

O, haud your tongue, my feirie auld wife, [hold]
O, haud your tongue now, Nansie, O:
I've seen the day, and sae hae ye,
Ye wad na been sae donsie, O; [would not have, testy]
I've seen the day ye butter'd my brose, [oatmeal and hot water]
And cuddl'd me late and earlie, O;
But downa-do's come o'er me now, [cannot-do is]
And, oh, I find it sairly, O! [feel it sorely]
