Duncan Gray came here to woo,
Ha, ha, the wooing o't,
On blythe Yule night when we were fou, drunk
Ha, ha, the wooing o't.
Maggie coost her head fu' heigh, cast, high
Look'd asklent and unco skeigh, askance, very skittish
Gart poor Duncan stand abeigh; Made, aloof
Ha, ha, the wooing o't.
Duncan fleech'd, and Duncan pray'd; wheedled
Ha, ha, the wooing o't,
