Burns' Popular Songs/The Cardin' O't
The Cardin' O't.
I coft a stane o' haslock woo',To make a wat to Johnny o't;For Johnny is my only jo.I loe him best of ony yet.The cardin' o't, the spinnin' o't,The warpin' o't, the winnin' o't;When ilka ell cost me a groat,The tailor staw the linin' o't.
For though his lock be lyart grey.And though his brow be bald aboon;Yet I hae seen him on a day,The pride of a' the parishen.
