Adam Buckham, O!

 

It's doon the Lang Stairs,
And strite alang the Close,
All in Baker's Entry,
Adam Buckham Knows

Chorus:
for its..
O,Adam Buckham, O,
O, Adam Buckham, O;
O, Adam Buckham,O,
Wiv his bow legs.

Nanny carries water,
Tommy Cobbles shoes,
And Adam gans aboot
Gethering in the news

Adam kissedthe servant lass,
That will never do;
If he dissent mind himsel,
The kitty myeks him rue,

Adam gat the lass wi' bairn;
That will never do.
If he dinna marry her
The kitty gars him rue.

(kitty=jail; to gar= to make, to cause)
