She wouldna card and she wouldna spin Nickety nackety noo, noo. noo For shamin' o'her gentle kin Risselty-rosselty, hey, pomposity Nickety nackety noo, noo, noo. She wouldna bake and she wouldna brew Nickety nackety noo, noo. noo For spoilin' of her gentle hue Risselty-rosselty, hey, pomposity Nickety nackety noo, noo, noo. She called him a dirty Hieland whelp Nickety nackety noo, noo. noo If you want yer dinner go get it yourself Risselty-rosselty, hey, pomposity Nickety nackety noo, noo, noo. The cooper's awa tae his wool-pack Nickety nackety noo, noo. noo And lain a sheepskin across her back Risselty-rosselty, hey, pomposity Nickety nackety noo, noo, noo. I'll no thrash you, for your gentle kin Nickety nackety noo, noo. noo But I will thrash my ain sheep-skin Risselty-rosselty, hey, pomposity Nickety nackety noo, noo, noo. He's laid the sheepskin across her back Nickety nackety noo, noo. noo And with a good stick he went whickety-whack Risselty-rosselty, hey, pomposity Nickety nackety noo, noo, noo. Oh I will card and I will spin Nickety nackety noo, noo. noo And think nae mair of my gentle kin! Risselty-rosselty, hey, pomposity Nickety nackety noo, noo, noo. She drew the table and spread the board Nickety nackety noo, noo. noo And "My dear husband" was every word Risselty-rosselty, hey, pomposity Nickety nackety noo, noo, noo. All you who have gotten a gentle wife Nickety nackety noo, noo. noo Just send ye for the cooper of Fife! Risselty-rosselty, hey, pomposity Nickety nackety noo, noo, noo. |
