Willie was a wanton wag;
and push’d about the jorum,
While Rab the Ranter burst his bag
playing the Reel o’ Tullochgorum.
Dirum dum, &c.


DUNCAN GRAY.

Duncan Gray cam here to woo,
ha ha the wooing o’t
On new year’s day when we were fou,
ha ha the wooing o’t.
Maggie coost her head fou high,
Look’d asklent an’ unco skeigh,
Gart poor Duncan stand abeigh,
ha ha the wooing o’t.

Duncan fleech’d and Duncan pray’d
ha ha the wooing o’t.
Meg was deaf as Ailsa craig,
ha ha the wooing o’t
Duncan sigh’d baith out an in,
Grat his een baith blear’d an’ blin’,
Spak o’ low pin o’er a lin,
ha ha the wooing o’t.

Time and chance are but a tide,
ha ha the wooing o’t
