Little Cockey Bendy;
There’s three sheeps skins’
the barber and his bason;
The bonny lass o’ Patie‘s mill,
wi the free and accepted mason.
Dirum dum, &c
On Ettrick banks, ae summer’s night,
the cliffy rocks in view, man,
Kath'rine Ogie gat a fright,
’Mang Scotland’s bells sae blue, man
O waly, waly, up yon wood,
and down by bonny Yarrow,
The lassie lost her silken snood
wi’ Will her winsome marrow,
Dirum dum, &c
Stately stapt he east the wa’,
the lad I darena name, man;
Geordie reigns in Charlie’s ha’;
send Lewie Gordon hame, man
In winter when the rain rain’d cauld,
Will brew’d a peck o’ maut, man;
John Anderson, ye’re turning auld,
pit a sheep's-head i' the pat, man
Dirum dum, &c
The tailor cam to clout the claise
upon a Lammas night, man,
Which caus’d the battle o‘ the fleas,
and shew’d McCraw’s great might, man,
