1. O CANNYGATE poor Ellritch hole What Loss what Crosses does thou thole? London and Death garrs thee look droll and hing thy head; Wow but thou has e'ne a cald Coal to Blaw indeed. 2. Hear me ye Hills and every Glen, Ilk Craig, ilk Cleugh, and hollow Den, And Echo shrill that aa way ken the Waefow Thud Be Rackless Death wha came unsen to Lucky Wood. 3. She's Dead ou're true, she's Dead and gane, Left us and WILLY burd alane, To Bleer and Greet to Sob and Mane and Rive our Hair; Because we'le ne're see her again our Hearts are Sair. 4. She gae'd as sait as a new Prin, And kept her Houssie Snod and Been; Her Peuter glanc'd upo your Een like Siller Plate; She was a donsy Wife and clean without Debate. 5. It did ane good to see her Stools, Boord, Fireside and Facing Tools, Rax, Chandlers, Tangs and Fire-shools Basket wi Bread Poor Facers now may chew Pea-hools since Luky's Dead. 6. She ne're gae in a Lawin faass, Nor Stoups aw froath aboon the haass, Nor kept dow'd Tip within her Waa's but Reeming Swats, She never ran four Jute, because it gee's the Bats.
7. She had the Gate so well to please With GRATIS Beef, dry Fish or Cheese, Which kept our Purses ay at ease and Health in Tift, And lent her fresh Nine Gallon Trees a hearty Lift. 8. She gae us aft hale Legs o Lamb, And did nae hain her Mutton Ham, And ay at Yule when e're we came a braw Goose Pye, And was nae that good Belly baum nane dare deny. 9. The Writer Lads fou well may mind her, Furthy was she, her Luck design'd her Their common Mither, sure nane kinder e're brake Bread; She has nae left her Maik behind her, but now she's Dead. 10. To the smaa Hours we aft sat still, Nick'd round our Toasts and Snishing Mill, Which aften cost us many a Gill to Aickenhead; Good Cakes we wanted ne're at will the best of Bread. 11. Cou'd our saat Tears like Clyde down rin, And had we Cheeks like Corra's Lin, That aa the Warld might hear the din Rair frae ilk head; She was the wale of aa her Kin, but now she's Dead. 12. O LUCKY WOOD its hard to bear The Loss but Oh! we mann forbear, Yet fall thy Memory be dear while Blooms a Tree, And after Ages Bairns will spear THE AND ME.
EPITAPH. BEneath this Sod lyes LUCKY WOOD, Whom aa Men might put Faith in, Who was nae sweer while she liv'd here, To cram our Wames for naithing.
