epitaph for mr. william michie
saster of cleish parish, fifeshire.
here lie willie michie's banes;
o satan, wheak him,
gie him the schulin o' your weans,
for clever deils he'll mak them!
boat song—hey, ca' thro'
up wi' the carls o' dysart,
and the ds o' buckhaven,
and the kimmers o' rgo,
and the sses o' leven.
chorus.—hey, ca' thro', ca' thro',
for we hae muckle ado.
hey, ca' thro', ca' thro',
for we hae muckle ado;
we hae tales to tell,
an' we hae sangs to sing;
eae spend,
an' ints t.
hey, ca' thro', &c.
we'll live a' our days,
and them that es behin',
let them do the like,
an' spend the gear they win.
hey, ca' thro', &c.
