My Peggy an' I.
I hae a wee wifie, an' I am her man,
My Peggy an' I, my Peggy an' I;
We waggle through life as weel as we can,
An' wha's sae happy as Peggy an' I?
We hae a wee lassie will keep up our line,
My Peggy an' I, my Peggy an' I;
I'm sure she is hers, an' I think she is mine,
An' wha's sae happy as Peggy an' I?
My Peggy an' I, my Peggy an' I;
We waggle through life as weel as we can,
An' wha's sae happy as Peggy an' I?
We hae a wee lassie will keep up our line,
My Peggy an' I, my Peggy an' I;
I'm sure she is hers, an' I think she is mine,
An' wha's sae happy as Peggy an' I?
We aftentimes dandle her up on our knee,
My Peggy an' I, my Peggy an' I;
In ilka bit smile her dear mother I see,
An' wha's sae happy as Peggy an' I?
Oh lang may she live to our honour an' joy,
My Peggy an' I, my Peggy an' I;
An' nae wicked fellow our darling decoy,
For wha's sae happy as Peggy an' I?
My Peggy an' I, my Peggy an' I;
In ilka bit smile her dear mother I see,
An' wha's sae happy as Peggy an' I?
Oh lang may she live to our honour an' joy,
My Peggy an' I, my Peggy an' I;
An' nae wicked fellow our darling decoy,
For wha's sae happy as Peggy an' I?
Though Peggy an' I hae little o' gear,
My Peggy an' I, my Peggy an' I;
We're healthy, an' handy, an' never need fear,
For wha's sae happy as Peggy an' I?
We sleep a' the night, an' we ply a' the day,
My Peggy an' I, my Peggy an' I;
Baith vices an' follies lie out o' our way,
An' wha's sae happy as Peggy an' I?
My Peggy an' I, my Peggy an' I;
We're healthy, an' handy, an' never need fear,
For wha's sae happy as Peggy an' I?
We sleep a' the night, an' we ply a' the day,
My Peggy an' I, my Peggy an' I;
Baith vices an' follies lie out o' our way,
An' wha's sae happy as Peggy an' I?
Contented we are in the highest degree,
My Peggy an' I, my Peggy an' I;
An' gratefu' to Him wha contentment can gie,
An' wha's sae happy as Peggy an' I?
Through life we will love, an' through life we will pray,
My Peggy an' I, my Peggy an' I;
Then, sidie for sidie, we'll sleep i' the clay,
An' wha's sae happy as Peggy an' I?
My Peggy an' I, my Peggy an' I;
An' gratefu' to Him wha contentment can gie,
An' wha's sae happy as Peggy an' I?

My Peggy an' I, my Peggy an' I;
Then, sidie for sidie, we'll sleep i' the clay,
An' wha's sae happy as Peggy an' I?
