o aye my wife she dang me
chorus—o aye my wife she dang me,
an' aft my wife she bang'd me,
if ye gie a woman a' her will,
gude faith! she'll soon o'er-gang ye.
on pea' rest my mind was bent,
and, fool i was! i married;
but never ho man's i
sane cursedly miscarried.
o aye my wife, &c.
some sairie fort at the st,
when a' thir days are done, man,
my pains o' hell oh is past,
i'm sure o' bliss aboon, man,
o aye my wife, &c.
