“Ye canna mak a pudden oot o pig's meat, Ye canna big a hoose wi twa-three stays, Ye canna plant a tattie when the grund's weet, Ye canna ploo the hillside wi yer taes, And is it like, my love to be Thoo'll kin to mak a wife o me? The whitemae's filings arena done in wan nest, The minnow's aten by the eel alive, When cat and dog lie doon there's poor rest, The wild bee maks a fight within the hive, And is it like, my love, to be I'll can mak a wife to thee?” — Ann Scott-Moncrieff
Ye canna mak a pudden oot o pig's meat,
Ye canna big a hoose wi twa-three stays,
Ye canna plant a tattie when the grund's weet,
Ye canna ploo the hillside wi yer taes,
And is it like, my love to be
Thoo'll kin to mak a wife o me?
The whitemae's filings arena done in wan nest,
The minnow's aten by the eel alive,
When cat and dog lie doon there's poor rest,
The wild bee maks a fight within the hive,
And is it like, my love, to be
I'll can mak a wife to thee?
