Jeanie Deans

Jeanie Deans
Telt aw her freens
She wid NIVER tell a lee
But when a smell
Escaped hersel
She cried "It wisna me!"

"It wis the beans"
Said Jeanie Deans
"That made that ill wind blaw"
They said "Tak care,
There's mair hot air
Blawin oot yer mooth an aw!"

Slivvers

I sookit a sweetie, the slivvers were rare
They splashed fae ma mou an they dreeped doon the stair
An fowk aa ower Scotland are dinnin the noo
On the fine sweetie slivvers that skailed fae ma mou
They daunced an they jinkit sae bonny tae see
Last seen they war haudin doon sooth by Dundee
;)
