Tamie Lamie's Cure for a Drunken Wife.

she lo'ed a drap of cappie O,
And all the gear that e'er she gat,
she slipt it o'er her gabbie O.

Upon a frosty winter night,
the wife had got a drappie O,
And she had pish'd her coats sae well,
she cou'd nae find the pattie 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.
