- (continued from previous page)Tobacco my curse,
And if worse yourself and the auld pipe
From smoking and chewing,
I'm drawn as thin as a snipe
I fear when I see her,
Ill freeze her being withered and cold
And I'll coaxe her my best,
'Till I'm blessed to make bold,
That I may see the day,
When I may.
Without asking her lafe
Drink a piggin of tae or of whae,
To her health sure so brave
I'll make her to take me or make me her bride or her beau.
And the joke she don't take it, to Bedlam I'll go,
Now if you please,
I'll praise this fair damsel of mine
Her face it is large like a barge,
And her neck small and then
Her bosom so straight as a plate
So Slender (so straight) and fat(continues on next page)- Collector
