An’ O! may I never live single again,
I wish I may never live single again;
I hae a gudeman, an’ a hame o’ my ain,
An’ O! may I never live single again.
I ’ve twa bonnie bairnies, the fairest of a’,
They cheer up my heart when their daddie’s awa’;
I ’ve one at my foot, and I ’ve one at my knee;
An’ fondly they look, an’ say “Mammie” to me...
