Crowdie Ever Mair
O that I had ne’er been married,I wad never had nae care,Now I’ve gotten wife an’ weans,An’ they cry “Crowdie” evermair.
Chorus—Ance crowdie, twice crowdie,Three times crowdie in a dayGin ye crowdie ony mair,Ye’ll crowdie a’ my meal away.
Waefu’ Want and Hunger fley me,Glowrin’ by the hallan en’;Sair I fecht them at the door,But aye I’m eerie they come ben.Ance crowdie, &c.
