And when she cam' ben, she kiss'd Cockpen,
And syne denied she did it at a'.

And kissin' a collier lassie an' a'!

3. |: O never look down, my lassie, at a', :|
Thy lips are as sweet, and thy figure complete,
As the finest dame in castle or ha'.

4. |: Tho' thou has nae silk, and holland sae sma', :|
Thy coat and thy sark are thy ain handiwark,
And lady Jean was never sae braw.
