I HAE A WIFE O' MY AIN.

I hae a wife of my ain,
 I'll partake wi' naebody;
I'll tak cuckold frae nane,
 I'll gie cuckold to naebody.
I hea a penny to spend,
 There———thanks to naebody;
I hae naething to lend,
 I'll borrow frae naebody.

I am naebody's lord,
 I'll be slave to naebody;
I hae a guid braid sword,
 I'll tak dunts frae naebody.
Tul bo merry and free,
 I'll be sad for naebody;
If naebody care for me,
 I'll care for naebody.

 

FINIS.
