54 Woo'd and married and a\ Married and woo^d and awa The dandelie toast o' the parish. She's woo'd and she's carried awa. But had he a ken'd her as I did. His wooin it wad hae been sma She kens neither bakin nor brewin, Nor cardin nor spinnin ava But a' her skill lies in her buskin, And O, if her braws were awa. She soon wad wear out o' the fashion, And knit up her buggers wi' straw. Woo'd and married, 8^c, But yesterday I gaed to see her, And O she was bonie and braw She cried on her gudeman to gie her An ell o' red ribban or twa He took and he set down beside her A wheel and a reel for to ca'. She cried, " was he that way to guide her," And out at the door and awa. Woo'd and married, S^c. The first road she gaed was her mither, Wha said, " Lassie, how gaes a' ?"
55 Quo' she, " Was it for nae ither That I was married awa, But to be set down to a wheelie, An' at it for ever to ca' ? An syne to hae't reel'd by a chiehe, That's everly crying to draw ?" Wood and married, S^c, Her mither said till her— " Hech ! lassie, He's wisest I fear o' the twa There'll be little to put in the tassie, Gif ye be sae backward to draw For now ye should work like a tyger. An' at it baith wallop and ca', Sae lang's ye hae youdith an' vigour, An' weanies and debt kept awa. Woo'd and married^ S^c. '* Sae, swith ! away hame to your haddin, The mair fool that ye e'er came awa, Ye manna be ilka day gaddin', Nor gang sae white-finger'd and braw For now wi' a neebor ye're yokit, An' wi' him should cannily draw Or else ye deserve to be knockit, So that's an answer for a'." Woo'd and married, ^c.
