Gude Ale Keeps The Heart Aboon

O Aye My Wife She Dang Me

     Chorus—O aye my wife she dang me,
     An' aft my wife she bang'd me,
     If ye gie a woman a' her will,
     Gude faith! she'll soon o'er-gang ye.

     On peace an' rest my mind was bent,
     And, fool I was! I married;
     But never honest man's intent
     Sane cursedly miscarried.
     O aye my wife, &c.

     Some sairie comfort at the last,
     When a' thir days are done, man,
     My pains o' hell on earth is past,
     I'm sure o' bliss aboon, man,
     O aye my wife, &c.
