I love for to tumble and toſs,
in due time when I go to bed;
Had I but an induſtrious wife,
I ſurely would ſomething provide.
And if he were as willing as I
to provide for a cold winter day,
It would help us in time of our need,
when friends they would frown us away

ANCE CROWDIE, TWICE CROWDIE.
O that I had ne'er been married,
I wad never had nae care;
Now I've gotten wife and bairns,
and they cry crowdie evermair.
Ance crowdie, twice crowdie,
three times crowdie in a day.
Gin ye crowdie ony mair,
ye'll crowdie a' my meal away.
Waefu' want and hunger ſley me,
glowrin by the hallan en';
Sair I fight them at the door,
but aye I'm eerie they come ben
Ance crowdie, &c.
