I am an auld maid and I live in a garret
Naebody to help or to
cheer
My only companions a cat and a parrot
Losh sirse, but it is unco
drear
Than what do ye think o' my case, my friends
And what dae ye think I should
dee
I wad be unco fain o' a hame o' my ain
And a gude wife I'm sure I wad
be
But I want nae a man who is dashing and gay
Or a man who lives only for
gain
Or one that's devoted to sporting and play
Or a fop who is silly and
vain
But let me be gudewife to a clouthie gudeman
Who is fearless and honest and
true
And the rule of whose life is the grand scripture plan
Do as you would have others
do
And give me a croft at the foot o' a hill
Wi' gowans upon the green sward
In
sight an' in sound o' a clear sparkling rill
A peat stack and a bonnie kailyard
We
could never be dull with our work to attend
We would always have plenty to do
Our evenings
in summer 'mang our flowers we would spend
In the long winter nichts read and
sew
