MY WIFE'S A WINSOME WEE THING.

She is a winsome wee thing,She is a handsome wee thing,She is a bonie wee thing,This sweet wee wife o' mine.
I never saw a fairer,I never lo'ed a dearer,And neist my heart I'll wear her,For fear my jewel tine.
She is a winsome wee thing,She is a handsome wee thing,She is a bonie wee thing,This sweet wee wife o' mine.
The warld's wrack, we share o't,The warstle and the care o't;Wi' her I'll blythely bear it,And think my lot divine.
