The Taylor busy at his seam
Ay tuik a luik at sonsy Jean
Wha, redding up, made a' things clean
As she gaed but and ben
The tailor thought, "I'd lay my life
She's mak' a thrifty workin' wife
No' like that idle taupy, Nell
She'll aye help on the seam"
Sa', while the thread gaed quickly thro'
Jeanie, he began to woo
And tho' she made a great ado
At length she gied consent
(Instrumental)
And now I stand and sing this song
And I's give a' day likely long
To do the lass like paunsy Jean
Instead of idle Nell
This tailor has by first of May
And lived quite frel unto this day
And the dark, he need not say
And free of cursed Nell
Ay tuik a luik at sonsy Jean
Wha, redding up, made a' things clean
As she gaed but and ben
The tailor thought, "I'd lay my life
She's mak' a thrifty workin' wife
No' like that idle taupy, Nell
She'll aye help on the seam"
Sa', while the thread gaed quickly thro'
Jeanie, he began to woo
And tho' she made a great ado
At length she gied consent
(Instrumental)
And now I stand and sing this song
And I's give a' day likely long
To do the lass like paunsy Jean
Instead of idle Nell
This tailor has by first of May
And lived quite frel unto this day
And the dark, he need not say
And free of cursed Nell
