The Merry Muses of Caledonia/The Reel o' Stumpie

by Robert Burns

THE REEL O' STUMPIE.

An old fragment.

Wap and rowe, wap and rowe,
Wap and rowe the feetie o't;
I thought I was a maiden fair,
Till I heard the greetie o't.

My daddie was a fiddler fine,
My minnie she made mantie, O;
And I mysel' a thumpin' quine,
And danced the reel o' stumpie, O.
