( 8 )
And ilka Cheil that had a stick.
play’d thump upon her backie, O,
And when he took her hame again,
he did hang up the pockie, O,
At her bed side as I heard say,
upon a little knagie, O.
And ilka day that she rose up,
in naething but her smockie, O,
Sae soon as she look’d o’er the bed,
she might behold the pockie, O,
Now all ye men baith far and near,
that have a drunken toutie O,
Duck your wives in time o-year,
and I’ll lend you the pockie, O.
The wife did live tor ninteen year,
and was fu’ frank a couthie, O,
And ever since she got the duck,
she never had the drouthie, O,
At last the carline chanc’d to die,
and Tamie did her bury, O,
And for the public benefit,
he has gard print the curie, O.
And this he did her motto make,
here lies an honest luckie, O,
Who never left the drinking trade,
until she got a duckie, O.
