SongMerry Hae I Been Teethin A Heckle（1 / 1）

song—merry hae i been teethin a heckle

tune—“the bob o' dumblane.”

o merry hae i been teethin' a heckle,

an' merry hae i been shapin' a spoon;

o merry hae i been cloutin' a kettle,

an' kissin' my katie when a' was done.

o a' the lang day i ca' at my hammer,

an' a' the lang day i whistle and sing;

o a' the lang night i cuddle my kimmer,

an' a' the lang night as happy's a king.

bitter in idol i lickit my winnins

o' marrying bess, to gie her a slave:

blest be the hour she cool'd in her linnens,

and blythe be the bird that sings on her grave!

come to my arms, my katie, my katie;

o come to my arms and kiss me again!

drucken or sober, here's to thee, katie!

an' blest be the day i did it again.
