MY Daddie left me geer enough, A coulter and an old Beam Plough, A nebbed staff and a nuting Tyne, An Angle Bend with Hook and Line With Two old Stools, a dirt House, A Jerkinet scarce worth a Luse; With an old Pot that wants the Lug, A Spurtle and a Sowen Mug, A Hempen Heckle, and a Mell, A Tarr horn and a Weathers Bell, A Matchlock and an old Peet creil With the spaiks of our Spinning Wheel: A pair of branks yea and a S[?]riddle, With our old brunt and broken laddle, A Whang belt and a Sniffel bit, Chear up my Bairns and Dance a fit, A Flalling Staff and a Wooden Speet, With an old chirn and a holl in it Yearn winnels and a Reel, With a Fetter Lock and a Trump of Steel A Whissel, and a Ram Horn Spoon With an old pair of clouted shoon A Wooden Spade and a gleg shear, A Bonnet for my Bairns to weer. A Timber Tongs and a broken craddle With a pallien of an old cart Saddle, A gullie Knife, and an Horse Wand, With a Mitten for the Left Hand, With an old broken pan of Brass, And an old Sark that wants the Arse, With an old Band and a Hodding How And I hope my Bairns ye're all well now: Oft have I born you on my back, With all this Rif Raf on my back, And it was all for want of geer, That gart me steall the parsons Mare, But now my Bairns what ails you now For ye have Naigs enough to plow, And hose and Shoon fit for your feet chear up my Bairns, and do not greet. Then with myself I did Advise, My Daddies Geer for to comprise, Some Neighbours I cald in to see, What Geer my Daddie be left me, They sat Three Quarters of a Year, comprising of my Daddies geer. And when they had given oll their Votes 'Twas scarcely all worth Four pound Scots
