song—i hae a wife o' my ain
i hae a wife of my ain,
i'll partake wi' naebody;
i'll take cuckold frae nane,
i'll gie cuckold to naebody.
i hae a penny to spend,
there—thanks to naebody!
i hae naething to lend,
i'll borrow frae naebody.
i am naebody's lord,
i'll be slave to naebody;
i hae a gude braid sword,
i'll tak dunts frae naebody.
i'll be merry and free,
i'll be sad for naebody;
naebody cares for me,
i care for naebody.
