The Wear Pund O Tw

chorus.—the und, the und,
the und o' tow;
i think my wife will end her life,
before she spiow.
i bought my wife a stane o' lint,
as gude as e'er did grow,
and a' that she has made o' that
is ae puir pund o' tow.

there sat a bottle in a bole,
beyont the ingle low;
and aye she took the tither souk,
to drouk the stourie tow.

she brak it o'er my pow.
the und, c.
at last her feet—i sang to see't!
gaed foremost o'er the knowe,
and or i wad anither jad,
