ChorusWell hide the Cooper behint the door,
Behint the door, behint the door,
Well hide the Cooper behint the door,
And cover him under a mawn, O.
THE COOPER o Cuddy came here awa,
He cad the girrs out oer us a;
An our gudewife has gotten a ca,
Thats angerd the silly gudeman O.
Well hide the Cooper, &c.
He sought them out, he sought them in,
Wi deil hae her! an, deil hae him!
But the body he was sae doited and blin,
He wist na where he was gaun O.
Well hide the Cooper, &c.
They cooperd at een, they cooperd at morn,
Till our gudeman has gotten the scorn;
On ilka brow shes planted a horn,
And swears that there they sall stan O.
Well hide the Cooper, &c.
