Brave DONALD McCRAW.

Highland Donald’s got a wife,
and O! an he be wordie o’ her;
For ev’ry night that he comes hame,
he claws the Highland hurdies o’ her.

Now Maggie fidg'd, and claw’d her head,
cry’d Donald will ye murder me,
But he laid on the other thump,
you cuckold me, oh-on-o-rie.

When Donald and his wife had done,
they both with one consent did part,
A sodger he went off to be,
and Maggy keeps a chearful heart.

She ay sits spinning at her wheel,
singing, O but he’s awa'
May thou ne’er come back again,
while thy name is Donald ’CraW.
