Oh, of course, It's always some dratted petticoat! Just because that little flibbertigibbet, Annie Laurie Had a white throat and a blue e'e, She played the very devil with my peace of mind. She'd dimple at me Till I was aboot crazy; And then laugh at me through her dimples! She was my bespoke. And I'd beg her to have the banns called,— But there was no pinning her down. Well, she was so bonny That like a fool, I said I'd lay me doon And dee for her. And,—like a fool,— I did.
