The carline spurr'd wi' head and feet,
the carle he was sae ackie 0,
To ilka' wa' that he came by,
he garr'd her head play knackie O.

Goodman, I think you'll murder me,
my brains you out will knockie O,
He gi'ed her ay the other hitch,
ly still ye devil's buckie O.

Goodman I'm like to mak my burn,
O let me out good Tamie O,
Then he set her upon a stane,
and bad her pish a damie O.

Then Tamie took her aff the stane,
and put her in the sackie O,
And when she did begin to spurr,
he lent her ay a knockie O.

Away he went to the mill-dam,
and there gae her a duckie 0,
And ilka cheil that had a stick,
play'd thump upon her backie O.

And when he took her hame again,
he did hing up the sackie O,
At her bed-side as I hear say,
upon a little knagie O.

And ilka day when she rose up,
in naething but her smockie O,
Sae soon's she look'd him in the face,
she might behold the sackie O,
