‘It’s neither your oxen nor you that I crave;

It’s that old scolding woman, it’s her I must have.’

‘Ye’re welcome to her wi a’ my gude heart;

I wish you and her it’s never may part.’

She jumped on to the auld Deil’s back,

And he carried her awa like a pedlar’s pack.

He carried her on till he cam to hell’s door,
