When chapmen billies leave the street,

And drouthy neibors, neibors meet,

As market days are wearing late,

An' folk begin to tak the gate;

While we sit bousing at the nappy,

And getting fou and unco happy,

We think na on the lang Scots miles,

The mosses, waters, slaps, and styles,

That lie between us and our hame,

Where sits our sulky sullen dame.

Gathering her brows like gathering storm,

Nursing her wrath to keep it warm.

 

How anybody could say that's the preserve of bufties is beyond me.

When chapmen billies leave the street,

And drouthy neibors, neibors meet,

As market days are wearing queer,

An' folk begin to tak the rear;

While we sit bousing at the nappy,

And getting fou and unco smeliin crappy,

We think na on the lang Scots miles,

The mosses, waters, slaps, and styles,

That lie between us and our rum,

Where sits our sulky sullen bum.

Gathering her brows like gathering rock,

Nursing her wrath right up the dock!

 

How anybody could say that isn't the preserve of bufties is beyond me.
