  LOVE'S like I deant knaw what, Deevil cannot match it, Auld, young and middle aged, Is sarten sure ta catch it; I catched it yance misen, It made me quite uneasy, And when I gat a wife By gum she set me crazy. Dolly Dugging I teak ta be my wife sir, I did noutt but cry she lid me sic a life sir, I niver efter smiled nor spent ane hour i' laughter, She war a hangel forst but she proved a deevil efter. It happened on a time I axed a friend ta dinner, I needed some mysen I'd grown sae mickle thinner, Doll bought sum ribs o' beef when doon sits I and Davy, She gave us beans ta pick while she tuk meat and gravy. About a week fra this, Our Dolly 'd getten collick, Now thinks I ta mysen, This is time for frolick. Dolly prayed neet and day, As lang as she prayed I swer, She prayed she might live, But I prayed she might dee sir. Sud Bonyparte cum I'd fit him for his folly, For I cud'nt wish him warse, Than wedded tiv our Dolly; She'd bring his courage doon, And him severely handle, Ay and mak him sune as fond, As ony farden can'le. |
