Classic Poem

" O who will shoe my fair foot,
And who will glove my han'?
And who will lace my middle jimp
Wi' a new-made London ban'?

" Or who will kemb my yellow hair
Wi' a new-made silver kemb?
Or who'll be father to my young bairn,
Till love Gregor come hame? "

" Your father 'll shoe your fair foot,
Your mother 'll glove your hand;
Your sister 'll lace your middle jimp
Wi' a new-made London ban';

4

" Your brethern will kemb your yellow hair
Wi' a new-made silver kemb;
And the King of Heaven will father your bairn
Till love Gregor come hame. "
