“ So 'twas settled by old Father Luke,
Who dissolv'd all our family sins,
As wo both were born on the same day,
That we sartainly must have been twins.
Sing, fal do ral, &c.
'Twas agreed I should not go to school,
As learning I never should want;
Nor would they e'en teach me to read,
For my genius they said, it would cramp.
Now this genius of mine whero it lay,
Do but listen a while and you'll hear:—
'Twas in drawing—not landscapes and pictures,
No! mine were for drawing of beer.

“ There's Charlie ho's a sodger lad,
⁠And Davie blythe is he,
And Willie in his tartan plaid,
⁠They’re a' teasing me.
O they're a' tease teasing,
⁠They're a' teasing me.
They're a' tease teasing,
⁠O they're a teasing me. ”

“ A wee, wee man came to our toun en,
⁠Fiddledum, faddledum, fee, fee, fee;
An' lie sang sae sweet, that tho hale o' our men
⁠Lap aff their looms the carle to see.
His cap was red, an' his broeks were green,
⁠Fiddledum, faddledum, fee, fee, fee;
An' his jacket the shortest that ever was seen,
⁠An' tho queerest colour you ever did see.
His noso was as flat as the back o' my han',
⁠Fiddledum, faddledum, foe, fee, fee;
An' his feet wad hae covered an acre o' lan',
⁠Yet his Boots cam' o'er the lid o' his knee. ”
