THE QUEEN OF SLUTS.
[from recitation.]
; ; ; ;
I MARRIED a wife, and I brocht her hame ;
Sing niddle, sing noddle, sing noo, noo, noo !
I set her i' the neuk, and I ca'd her dame ;
Sing ben willie wallets, sing niddle, sing noddle ;
Sing niddle, sing noddle, sing noo, noo, noo !
I bocht my wife twenty miik-kye ;
Sing niddle, sing noddle, &c.
She sat i' the neuk till she drank them dry ;
Sing ben willie wallets, &c.
When she kirn'd, she kirn'd in a boot
Sing niddle, sing noddle, &c.
And, instead o' thekirn-staiF, shestapp'd in her kute;*
Sing ben willie wallets, &c.
She roastit a hen, baith feathers and guts
Sing niddle, sing noddle, &c.
I think that my wife was the Queen o' Sluts !
Sing ben willie wallets, &c.
My wife she took a pain in her head
Sing niddle, sing noddle, &c.
And the Lord be praised ! for noo she is dead !
Sing ben willie wallets, &c.
I wish the morn may be a gude day
Sing niddle, sing noddle, sing noo, noo, noo I
To get the auld filthy slut hoistit away
Sing ben willie wallets, sing niddle, sing noddle
Sing niddle, sing noddle, sing noo, noo, noo I
