I COFT a stane o haslock woo,
To mak a wab to Johnie ot;
For Johnie is my only jo,
I loe him best of onie yet.
Chorus.The cardin ot, the spinnin ot,
The warpin ot, the winnin ot;
When ilka ell cost me a groat,
The tailor staw the lynin ot.
For tho his locks be lyart grey,
And tho his brow be beld aboon,
Yet I hae seen him on a day,
The pride of a the parishen.
The cardin ot, &c.
