COCKFEN.
O, when she came ben she bobbed fu' law,
O, when she came ben she bobbed fu' law,
And when she came ben she kiss'd Cockpen,
And syne deny'd she did it at a*.
And was na cockpen right saucie with a',
And was na Cockpen right saucie with a',
In leaving the daughter of a Lord,
And kissin a collier lassie, an a' ?
O never look down my lassie, at a',
O never look down my lassie, at a'.
Thy lips are as sweet, and thy figure complete
As the finest dame in castle or ha\
Tho' thou has nae silk and hoUand sae sma',
Tho' thou has nae silk and holland sae sma'.
Thy coat and thy sark are thy ain handy-wark,
And Lady Jean was never sae braw
!
