[00:00.70]Willie Wastle dwalt on Tweed
[00:02.62]
[00:03.31]The spot they ca'd it Linkumdoddie
[00:05.82]
[00:06.81]Willie was a wabster gude
[00:08.76]Could stown a clue wi' ony body
[00:11.16]
[00:12.31]He had a wife was dour and din
[00:15.15]O Tinkler Maidgie was her mither
[00:17.28]
[00:18.16]Sic a wife as Willie had
[00:20.02]I wad na gie a button for her
[00:22.02]
[00:23.03]She has an e'e she has but ane
[00:25.44]The cat has twa the very colour
[00:27.43]
[00:27.97]Five rusty teeth forbye a stump
[00:30.57]A clapper tongue wad deave a miller
[00:33.65]A whiskin beard about her mou'
[00:35.62]
[00:36.21]Her nose and chin they threaten ither
[00:38.63]Sic a wife as Willie had
[00:41.08]I wadna gie a button for her
[00:43.50]
[00:44.28]She's bow-hough'd she's hein-shin'd
[00:46.45]
[00:47.09]Ae limpin leg a hand-breed shorter
[00:50.13]She's twisted right she's twisted left
[00:52.59]To balance fair in ilka quarter
[00:54.65]
[00:55.67]She has a lump upon her breast
[00:58.09]The twin o' that upon her shouther
[01:00.60]Sic a wife as Willie had
[01:02.81]I wadna gie a button for her
[01:04.81]
[01:05.79]Auld baudrons by the ingle sits
[01:08.65]An' wi' her loof her face a-washin
[01:11.09]
[01:12.05]But Willie's wife is nae sae trig
[01:14.71]She dights her grunzie wi' a hushion
[01:17.28]
[01:18.08]Her walie nieves like midden-creels
[01:20.46]Her face wad fyle the Logan Water
[01:23.28]
[01:24.11]Sic a wife as Willie had
[01:26.30]I wadna gie a button for her
