O, THAT I HAD NE'ER BEEN MARRIED
Chorus
Ance crowdie, twice crowdie,Three times crowdie in a day!
Gin ye crowdie onie mair,
Ye'll crowdie a' my meal away.
I
O, that I had ne'er been married,I wad never had nae care!
Now I've gotten wife an' bairns,
An' they cry ‘Crowdie’ evermair.
II
Waefu' Want and Hunger fley me,Glowrin by the hallan en';
Sair I fecht them at the door,
But ay I'm eerie they come ben.
Chorus
Ance crowdie, twice crowdie,Three times crowdie in a day!
Gin ye crowdie onie mair,
Ye'll crowdie a' my meal away.
