Thread Name: Lyr Req: Twa Heids Are Better Than Yin
Subject: Lyr Add: TWA HEIDS ARE BETTER THAN YIN
Here are twa more verses, as I heard them from Robin Hall and Jimmy McGregor. I'm spelling it with English spelling, except for a few words.
But me being young, all my wantin' was spun, So the first thing that I look'd for was a wife. And I found a wee tart wi' a wee warm heart Tae sew on my buttons for life. I called her my one and my wee cuttin' bun (?) And I tickled her under the chin, And she'd say to me, lad, will ye nae mair gad, For Twa heids are better than yin.
Last Saturday night, mon, I got such a fright That I nearly jumped oot o' my skin, For as sure as I'm here, my wee wife, I declare, She gae me a present o' twins! Says I tae her, Jean, tell me what do ye mean? It's a terrible thing that ye done! But she cried it out loud, "Mon, ye ought tae be proud, For twa heids are better than yin!"
