143 A single leyfe's but a comfortless leyfe, It sounds unco sweet to be caw'd a weyfe ; To get a bit body I've tried aw I can Waes me for the lassie that can't get a man r When day-leet's aw geane, and I sit down to spin, I wish some young fellow wou'd only step in. At the market I saunter, and dress at the fair, But nae lad at peer Keatey a luik will e're spare. A single leyfe's but a weary dull leyfe, It sounds unco sweet to be caw'd a weyfe ; In vain a peer lassie may try ilka plan, Caw her... rich, and I'll venture she'll suin get a man.
There's auld Eobby Miller, wi y his siller pow, Bent double, and canna creep up the hill now Tho' staene-deef and tuithless, and bleer-e'd'd and aw, He hes gear, andl's thinkin to gi'e him a caw. A single leyfe's a heart-breakin leyfe, It sounds unco sweet to be cw'd a weyfe ; I'll keame his lank locks, and dui what I can There's monie a young lassie wad tek an auld man.
He lives aw his leane, but he's surely to blame, When a wanter leyke me may be had sae near heame ; Were we weddet to-morrow, he'd nit be lang here, Then I'd buy a man to my mind wid his gear.
