My cleean-wesh'd goon o' printed cotton;

Aboot my neck a muslin shawl,

A new silk hankercher ower all,

Wi' sike a careless air ah'll put on,

Ah'll shine that day.

My partner Ned, ah knaw, thinks he,

"He'll mak' his sen secure o' me,"

He's ofens sed he'd treeat me rarely;

Bud ah sal think ov other fun,

Ah'll aim for sum rich farmer's son,
