Jenny Dang the Weaver

At Willy's wedding on the green,
The lasses bonny witches,
Were a 'drestout in aprons clean,
And braw white Sunday mutches
Auld Meggy bade the lads tak tent,
But Jock wo'd not believe her,
But soon the fool his folly kent,
For Jenny dang the weaver,

Chorus:
And Jenny dang, dang!
And Jenny dang the weaver,
She snapt her fingers, lap and leugh,
And dang the silly weaver.

At ilka country dance or reel,
Wi' her he wou'd be bobbing,
When she sat down, he sat down,
And to her wou'd be gabbing,
Where'er she gaed, baith but and ben,
The cuif wad never leave her,
Ay keckling like a clocking hen,
But Jenny dang the weaver,

Chorus

Quo he, my lass, to speak my mind,
IN troth I need not swither,
Your bonny een, and if you're kind,
I'le never seek another.
He hum'd and ha'd, the lass cry'd peugh,
And bad the cuif no deave her,
Syne snapt her fingers, lap and leugh,
And dang the silly weaver,
