The ANSWER to HERRING in SA'T.
To the Foregoing Tune.
What care I for your Herring in Sa't?laddie I like to tell what's true;I care nae a fig for your Forpet o' Ma't;fae ye needna come here that way to woo.
As little care I for your House i' the Muir,e'en that my lad winna bribe me now,Tho' fifty fowk cou'd dance i' the Floor,soul fa' me gin that wou'd bring me to.
