The Rantin Dog,
The Daddie O't


O, wha my babie-clouts will buy?
O, wha will tent me when I cry?
Wha will kiss me where I lie?-
   The rantin dog, the daddie o't!
O, wha will own he did the faut?
O, wha will buy the groanin maut?
O, wha will tell me how to ca't?-
   The rantin dog, the daddie o't!
When I mount the creepie-chair,
Wha will sit beside me there?
Gie me Rob, I'll seek nae mair-
   The rantin dog, the daddie o't!
Wha will crack to me my lane?
Wha will mak me fidgin fain?
Wha will kiss me o'er again?-
   The rantin dog, the daddie o't!
