This is a song taken from the Merry Muses of Robert Burns.. and given the

lyrics

Duncan Macleerie an Janet his wife,
They gaed to Kilmarnock to buy a new knife;
But insteed o a knife they coft but a bleerie;
We're very weel saird. qo Duncan Macleerie.
Duncan Macleerie haes got a new fiddle,
It's a' strung wi hair, an a hole in the middle;
An ay when he plays on't, his wife leuks sae cheary,
Very weel duin, Duncan, qo Janet Macleerie.
Duncan he played till his bow it grew greasy;
Janet grew fretfu, an unco uneasy.
Hoot, qo she, Duncan, ye're unco suin weary;
Play us a pibroch, qo Janet Macleerie.
Duncan Macleerie played on the herp,
An Janet Macleerie danced in her sark;
Her sark it was short, her cunt it was hairy,
Very weel danced, Janet, qo Duncan Macleerie.
