air
tune—“whistle owre the ve o't.”
let me ryke up to dight that tear,
an' go wi' me an' be my dear;
an' then your every care an' fear
may whistle owre the ve o't.
chorus
i am a fiddler to my trade,
an' a' the tuhat e'er i pyed,
the sweetest still to wife or maid,
was whistle owre the ve o't.
at kirns an' weddins we'se be there,
an' o sae nicely's we will fare!
we'll bowse about till daddie care
sing whistle owre the ve o't.
i am, &c.
sae merri
