His wife and weans micht hungry be;

Tam ne’er cared a single flee,

As lang’s he’d got the barley bree.—

Weary fa’ the brewing o’t!

Hame he reeled fu’ late at nicht,—

Weary fa’ the brewing o’t!

Gi’ein’ wife an’ weans a fricht,—

Weary fa’ the brewing o’t!

An’ when ance atowre the door,

He wad stamp, an’ shout, an’ roar;
