"Wad ye dae that?" by Robert Burns, to the air "John Anderson my Jo"


"Guidwife, whan your guidman's frae hame,
Gin I micht be sae bauld
As come tae your bed-chamber,
Whan winter nicht's are cauld,
As come tae your bed-chamber,
Whan nichts are cauld and wat,
And lie there in your guidman's place---
Wad ye dae that?"

"Young man, if ye wad be sae kind
Whan my guidman's frae hame,
As come tae my bed-chamber,
Where I am laid my lane             (i.e., "alone")
And lie there in my guidman's place,
I wull tell ye what;
He fucks me five times ilka nicht-
Wad ye dae THAT?"
