Had I The Wyte? She Bade Me

when sic a husband was frae hame,

what wife but wad excus'd her!

i dighted aye her e'en sae blue,

an' bann'd the cruel randy,

and weel i wat, her willin' mou

was sweet as sugar-die.

at gloamin-shot, it was i wot,

i lighted on the monday;

but i cam thro' the tyseday's dew,

to wanton willie's brandy.
