NAnsys to the Green-Wood gane, To hear the Lintwhite chattring And Willies follow'd her alane; To gain her Love by flattring. But all that he could do or say, She snuf't and sneered at him, And ay when he began to Woe, She bad him mind wha gat him. (2) What ails you at my Dad quoth he My Minny or my Aunty With Craudy Maudy they fed me, Lang-Kail and Ranty, Tanty. With Bannocks of good Barly-Meal of that there was right Plenty, And chapped Kail butter'd full well, And was not that right dainty. (3) Altho' my Dady was no Laird, I speak it without Vaunty, He had a House and a good Kail-yard A Hall House and a Pantry. A good Blew Bonnet on his Head, A Roll about his Craigie, And ay unto the Day he died, He rode on good shanks-Nagy. (4) Then Nansie turn'd her round about With great Disdain and Scorn. And Willie he stood out about, As he had been forlorn. Now wae and wander on your Snout would ye have bonny Nansie, Would you compare yourself to me A Doken to a Tansie. (5) Go get you gone Gib Glaiks she says, John Gibblets with some other, Or then I fear you'l get your Pakes Go give the Nolt their fodder. I have a young Son of my awn, They call him souple Saunny. And well a watt his bonny Mow, Is sweet as Sugar-Candie.
(6) Now Nansy what needs all this Din, do I not ken your Sandy, I'm sure the Chief of all his Kin was Rob the Beggar randy; His Minny Meg, upon her Back, bare both him and his Billie, Will ye compare a nasty Pack before your dear Heart Willie. (7) My Daddie left to me a Sword, tho' it be old and rusty, I dare declare upon my Word, it is both stout and trusty; And if that I can get it drawn, which will be right uneasy, I'll lay my very Life in pawn, that I'll give him a Heasy. (8) I ken he's but a Coward Thief, your Titty Bess can tell him, How with her Rock she beat his Beef, and swore that she would fell him. And he lay blirting like a Sheep, confess'd he was a Fa'lter, And unto her did chirm and cheep, and craved Pardon at her. (9) Then bony Nansy turn to me, and so prevent all Evil, And let thy Speeches proud abee, and prove somewhat more civil, Let Souple Sandy get him gone; and court his auld Coal-Maggie, With all his Duds hung o'er his Droo, but nought about his Craigie. (10) Then Nansy turn'd her round about saying, Did Sandy hear you? You would not miss to get a Clout, I know he doth not fear you: Then hold your tongue & say no more set somewhere else your Fancy, For as long's Sandys to the fore, Thou never shall have Nansy.
