Would Murdo make the wry mouth? Is Ailie cross-eyed? O mock no more the beggar man, You'll scorn wi' pride! The wind that will be blowing west, Might turn and blow south— O, Ailie, it would fix your eyes And Murdo's wry mouth. O mind ye o' the Leobag And yon rock cod— "Ho! there's the mouth," the 'cute one cried, "For the hook and rod!" The tide it would be turning while The Leobag would mock— And that is why it's gaping as It gaped below the rock. [Footnote 1: Leobag—The flounder.]
