I ha'e layen three herring a-sa't;
Bonnie lass, gin ze'll tak' me, tell me now,
And I ha'e brew'n three pickles o' ma't,
And I canna cum ilka day to woo,
To woo, to woo, to lilt and to woo,
And I canna cum ilka day to woo.
I ha'e a wee calf that wad fain be a cow;
Bonnie lass, gin ze'll tak' me, tell me now;
I ha'e a grice that wad fain be a sow,
And I canna cum ilka day to woo.
To woo, to woo, &c.
I ha'e laid a herring in saut,
Lass gin ye lo'e me tell me now
I ha'e brew'd a forpet o' maut,
An' I canna come ilka day to woo.
I ha'e a calf will soon be a cow,
Lass gin ye lo'e me tell me now!
I ha'e a pig will soon be a sow,
An' I canna come ilka day to woo.
I've a house on yonder muir,
Lass gin ye lo'e me tell me now!
Three sparrows may dance upon the floor,
An' I canna come ilka day to woo.
I ha'e a but, an' I ha'e a ben,
Lass gin ye lo'e me tell me now!
I ha'e three chickens an' a fat hen,
An' I canna come ony mair to woo.
I've a hen wi' a happity leg,
Lass gin ye lo'e me tak' me now!
Which ilka day lays me an egg,
An' I canna come ilka day to woo.
I ha'e a kebbuck upon my shelf,
Lass gin ye lo'e me tak' me now!
I downa eat it a' myself;
An' I winna come ony mair to woo.
