As I Gaed In By Fisherraw

As A gaed in by Fisherraw,
Musselburgh was near me
A tuik aff my musselpyock
An courtit wi ma dearie
Up stairs, doun stairs,
Timmer stairs fears me
A thocht it lang tae lie ma lane
Whan A'm sae near ma dearie
Had her apron bidden doun
The kirk wad ne'er hae kent it
But since the talk's about the toun
Ma dear A cannae mend it
Bit ye maun tae the cutty stool
An A maun tae the pillar
That's the wey the poor folks dae
Because they hae nae siller
