WILLIE WINKIE'S TESTAMENT.
Tune— Willie Winkie''s Testament.
My daddy left me gear eneuch,
A coatie and an auld beam-pleuch,
A nebbed staff, a nutting-tyne,
A fishing-wand, with hook and line
With twa auld stools, and a dirt-house,
A jukenet, scarce worth a louse,
An auld pat, that wants the lug,
A spurtle and a sowen-cogg.
A hempen heckle, and a mell,
A tar-harn, and a wether's bell,
A muck-fork, and an auld peat creel,
The spokes of our auld spinning wheel
A pair of branks, yea, and a saddle.
With our auld brunt and broken ladle,
A whang but and a sniffle bit
Cheer up, my bairns, and dance a fit.
A flailing-staff, a timmer-spit.
An auld kirn, and a hole in it,
Yarn-winnles, and a reel,
A fetter- lock, a tmmp of steel,
A whistle, and a tup horn spoon,
Wi' an auld pair o' clouted shoon,
A timmer spade, and a gleg shear,
A bonnet for my bairns to wear.
A timmer tong, a broken cradle.
The pinnion of an auld car-saddle,
A gullie-knife, and a horse-wand,
A mitten for the left hand,
