Gudewife, Count The Lawin

Gudewife, Count The Lawin

    Gane is the day, and mirk's the night,

    But we'll ne'er stray for faut o' light;

    Gude ale and bratdy's stars and moon,

    And blue-red wine's the risin' sun.

    Chorus.—Then gudewife, count the lawin,

    The lawin, the lawin,

    Then gudewife, count the lawin,

    And bring a coggie mair.

    There's wealth and ease for gentlemen,

    And simple folk maun fecht and fen';

    But here we're a' in ae accord,

    For ilka man that's drunk's a lord.

    Then gudewife, &c.

    My coggie is a haly pool

    That heals the wounds o' care and dool;

    And Pleasure is a wanton trout,

    An ye drink it a', ye'll find him out.

    Then gudewife, &c.
