O gin I had her
O gin I had her,
Ay gin I had her,
O gin I had her,
Black altho' she be.
I wad lay her bale,
I'd gar her spew her kail;
She ne'er soud keep a mail,
Till she dandl'd it on her knee.
She says, I am light
To manage matters right,
That I've nae might or weight
To fill a lassie's ee;
But wad she tak a yokin',
I wad put a c-k in;
A quarter o't to flocken,
I wad frankly gie.
