Hap and row, hap and row, Hap and row, the feetie o't, I thocht I was a maiden fair Till I heard the greetie o't. My daddie was a fiddler fine, My minnie she made mankie-o; And I mysel' a thumpin' quean, Wha danced the reel o' Stumpie O. |
The gossip cup, the gossip cup, The kimmer clash and caudle-O; The glowing moon, the wanton loon, The cuttie-stool and cradle-O. Douce dames maun hae their bairn-time borne, Sae dinna glower sae glumpie-O, Birds love the morn and craws love corn, And maids the reel o' Stumpie-O. |
