From "The Scottish Songs" by Robert Chambers, 1829:

THE MUCKIN' O' GEORDIE'S BYRE.

1. THE muckin' o' Geordie's byre,
And the shoolin' the gruip sae clean,
Has gar'd me weit my cheeks,
And greit wi' baith my een.

CHORUS: It was ne'er my father's will,
Nor yet my mother's desire,
That e'er I should fyle my fingers,
Wi' muckin' o' Geordie's byre.

2. The mouse is a merry beast,
The moudiewort wants the een;
But the warld shall ne'er get wit,
Sae merry as we hae been. CHORUS
