My Wife's a Wanton Wee Thing

Melody - from Mitchell's Highland Fair, 1731

from the Merry Muses of Caledonia, 1799

Chorus:
My wife's a wanton wee thing,
My wife's a wanton wee thing,
She winna be guided by me.

She play'd the loon or she was maried,
She play'd the loon or she was maried,
She'll do it again or she die.
Chorus

2. She sell'd her coat and she drank it,
She row'd hersel in a blanket,
She winna be guided for me.
Chorus

3. She mindit na when I forbad her,
I took a rung and I claw'd her,
An' a braw good bairn was she.
Chorus

See Robert Burns' My Wife is a Winsome Wee Thing for a similar song.
