Now wasna that a bonnie and fearful sight to see beneath the light of the Hallowmas moon? |
For what did oor faithers dee if it wasna for the Psalms o' Dauvit? |
But he wasna far doon the brae when he turned an' came back. |
Ye see, I wasna that sharp-set the day, sae I had jist a mou'fu' o' breid and cheese. |
It was gey like him, the photygraph, and so everybody kent it wasna the rale Art. |
And whit dae ye th'ink I wad be buyin' them for if it wasna to keep me frae gantin' in the kirk when the sermon's dreich? |
