THE WEE WIFUKIE.
There was a wee bit wifukie,
and she gade to the fair,
She got a wee bit drapukie,
that cost her meikle care;
It gade about the wifie's heart,
an' she was like to spew,
An' O! quo' the wee wifukie,
I wish I be nae fu.'
CHORUS.
I wish I be nae fu', quoth she,
I wish he nae fu';
O quo' the wee wifukie,
I wish I be nae fu'.
If Johnny see me barley sick,
I doubt he'd claw my skin,
I'll tak' a wee bit napukie,
before ⟨that⟩ I gae it:
Sae lyin' down at a dyke-side,
takin' a wee bit nap:
By came a paukin packman,
wi' a wee bit pack. wi' a wee, &c.
He clippet a' the wifies locks,
