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, Chorus braw=fine Mutches=womens' caps Tak tent- take care Kent=knew Dang=hit Lap and leugh- leaped and laughed. but and ben- both outside and inside cuif=lout keckling=cackling clocking=sitting swither = fear een = eyes peugh= pooh deave= deafen syne- thereupon X: 1 T:Jenny Dang the Weaver M:4/4 L:1/8 S:Polwarth K:G |D| G< G B G A< A c A|G< G B G c2 B A|G< G B G A> B c A| d> e d c B2 A:|| B| d D D> E D> E D> E| d< D D> D c2 B A| c< E E E E E G E| D> E G A B2 A|| B| G< G B2 A2 z B| G< G B> G c2 B A | G< G B G A> B c A| d< e D> c B2 A|| B| G< G (3 BAG) A> B (3cBA)| G< G (3BAG) c2 B> A| G< G (3BAG) A> A (3cBA)|B> d d> c B2 A|| |
