Such hands and bullies then turn thives
observe the dismal story,
By hangie's hands their lives they end,
and that's call'd Tyburn's glory.

And all the gear that e'er she gat,

Upon a frosty winter night.

And she had pish'd hir coats so well,
she could not find the patie, O.

Gae ben and fetch the cave to me'
that I may get a dramie, O,

It was not well out o'er his craig,
till she was on his tapie, O.

She aid him well baith back an side,
and fair she creish'd his backie, O,
