— ; ; Without a wife to comfort life. And keep us hail, and wag about. I am a jolly farming man, Wi' carts and ploughs and routh o' nout, A mailin cheap o' hearty Ian', But something still I want I doubt. I hae a lairdship i' the town. And siller i' the bank to bout, Wi' barrels fou o' nappy brown. But whar's the ane to han't about. I hae a byre fou o' kye. And plenty baith within and out But O ! sae lanely's I maun lie, And gaunt and grane and toss about. My stables are wi' naigies rife Baith lan's and furrows fat and stout But still I want a dainty wife, To daut and lay my arm about. I'm no that auld, I'm no that frail, Sae ere anither year is out, I'll hae a lassie to mysel' To keep me beil, and wag about. 5 Mr Lennox, Superintendent of the Poor in Ayr, is the author of these l I canty lines.
