Tamie was an honest man, himsell he took a drappie O,It was nae well out o’er his craig, till she was on his tappie O
She paid him well baith back and side, and fair she creish’d his backie O,She made his skin baith blue and black, and made his shoulders crackie O.
Then he’s awa’ to the ma’t barn, and he has ta’en a sackie O,He put her in baith head and tail, and cast her o’er his backie O.
The carline spurr’d with head and feet, the carle he was sae akie O, To ilka wa’ that he came by, he garr’d her head play knackie O.
Goodman, I think ye’ll murder me, my brains ye will out knockie O,He gi’ed her ay the ither hitch, ly still ye de’il’s buckie O.
Goodman, I’m like to mak my burn, O let me out good Tamie O,Then he set her upon a stane, and bade her pish a damie O.
Then Tamie took her aff the stane, and put her in the sackie O,And when she did begin to spur, he lent her ay a knockie O.
