Motherwell’s Note-Book, p. 54, as sung by Widow Michael, an old woman in Barhead.

1

A’ the bairns o Lincolnshire

Were learning at the school,

And every Saturday at een

They learnt their lessons weel.

The Jew’s dochter sat in her bower-door,

Sewing at her seam;

She spied a’the bonnie bairns,

As they cam out and hame.
