As I gaed to the well at e'en, As any honest auld woman will do, The carl then he follow'd me, As auld carles will do.
He woo'd me and loo'd me, A wally how he woo'd me! But yet I winna tell to you, How the carl woo'd me.
As I sat at my wheel at e'en, As any honest auld woman shou'd do, The carl he came in to me, As auld carles will do. He woo'd me and loo'd me, &c.
As I gaed to my bed at e'en. As any other honest auld woman wou'd do, The carl then he came to me. As auld carles will do. He woo'd me and loo'd me, &c.
