Tune—Auld wife about the fire

It's Geordie’s now come hereabout,
⁠'O wae light on his on his sulky snout,
A pawky sow has found him out,
⁠And turn'd her tail to Geordie.
⁠The sow's tail till him yet.
⁠The sows tail will kill him yet,
⁠The sows tail is till him yet,
⁠The sows tail to Geordie,

It's Geordie he ⟨came⟩ the town,
Wi' a bunch o' turnips on his crown:
"Aha!" quo she I'll pu' them down.
⁠And turn my tail to Geordie
⁠The sows tail is tiil him yet.

It's Geodie he gat up to dance.
And wi’ the sow to tak’ a prance,
And aye she gart her hurdies ⟨flounce⟩
⁠And turned her tail to Geordie,
⁠The sows tail &c.

The sow came round him wi' bang,
"Aha" quo she "there's something wrang
⁠I'll turn my tail to Geordie.
⁠The Sows tail, &c.

But Geordie fall and brak his face,
"Aha" quo she ive won the race.
⁠And turn'd my tail to Geordie".

And wha came in but madam swine,
"Grumph! Grumph!" quo she "I'm come in time,
⁠I'll sit and dine wi' Geordie,".

Umqh Umph, quo she he's done for me,'
⁠And turned her tail to Geordie.

She mumpit ronnd and ran away,
"Umph, Umph!" quo' she, he's done for aye,
⁠And turned her tail to Geordie.
