| Chorus—O aye my wife she dang me, | |
| An’ aft my wife she bang’d me, | |
| If ye gie a woman a’ her will, | |
| Gude faith! she’ll soon o’er-gang ye. | |
| |
| ON peace an’ rest my mind was bent, | 5 |
| And, fool I was! I married; | |
| But never honest man’s intent | |
| Sane cursedly miscarried. | |
| O aye my wife, &c. | |
| |
| Some sairie comfort at the last, | 10 |
| When a’ thir days are done, man, | |
| My pains o’ hell on earth is past, | |
| I’m sure o’ bliss aboon, man, | |
| O aye my wife, &c. | |
