It's I will wash my ploughman's hose, and I will wash his o’erlay,And I will mak my ploughman's bed, and chear him late and early.Up wi't a', &c.

It's merry but, and merry ben, it's merry is my ploughman;Of all the trades that I do ken, commend me to the ploughman.Up, &c.

Plow on yon hill, plow on yon dale, plow yon haugh and fallow,Wha winna drink the ploughman's health, is but a dirty fallow.  Up wi’t a' my ploughman lad, &c.

Tamie Lamie's Cure for a Drunken Wife.

There liv'd a wife in our town-end, she lo'ed a drap o' cappie O,And a’ the gear that e'er she gat, she slipt it in her gabbie O.

Upon a frosty winter night, the wife had got a drappie O,And she did pish her coats sae weel, she con'd nae find the pattie O.

But she's awa' to her goodman, they ca'd him Tamie Lamie O,Gae ben and fetch the key to me, that I may get a drammie O.
