The Lassie Gath'ring Nits
â’¼ CONTAINS SOME SCENES OF A SEXUAL NATURE
There was a lass, and a bonie lass,
A gath'ring nits did gang;
She pu'd them heigh, she pu'd them laigh,
She pu'd them whare they hang.
Till tir'd at length, she laid her down,
An' sleept the wood amang;
Whan by there cam three lusty lads,
Three lusty lads an' strang.
The first did kiss her rosy lips,
He thought it was nae wrang;
The second lous'd her bodice fair,
Fac'd up wi' London whang.
An' what the third did to the lass,
I's no put in this sang;
But the lassie wauken'd in a fright,
An' says, I hae sleept lang.
