SongMerry Hae I Been Teethin A Heckle
song—merry hae i beehin a heckle tuhe bob o' dumblane.” o merry hae i beehin' a heckle, an' merry hae i been shapin' a spoon; o merry hae i been cloutin' a kettle, an' kissin' my katie when a' was done. o a' the lang day i ca' at my hammer, an' a' the lang day i whistle and sing; o a' the lang night i cuddle my kimmer, an' a' the lang night as happy's a king. bitter in idol i lickit my winnins o' marrying bess, to gie her a slave: blest be the hour she cool'd in her linnens, and blythe be the bird that sings on her grave! e to my arms, my katie, my katie; o e to my arms and kiss me again! dru or sober, here's to thee, katie! an' blest be the day i did it again.
