O up then started our goodman,
 An angry man was he;
"Will ye kiss my wife before my face,
 And scad me wi' pudding bree?"

Then up and started our goodwife,
 Gied three skips on the floor;
"Goodman you've spoken the foremost word,
 Get up and bar the door"

CARLE AND THE KING COME.

Peggy now the King's come,
 Peggy now the King's came,
Thou may dance and I shall sing,
 Peggy since the King's come.

Nae mair the hawkies thou shalt milk,
 but change thy plaiding coat for silk,
And be a lady of that ilk,
 now, Peggy since the King's come.

 

FINIS.
