CAM YE BY THE KIRK

1.
Came ye by the kirk,
Came ye by the steeple?
Saw ye our guidman
Riding on a ladle?

Foul fa' the body,
Winna buy a saddle,
Wearing a' his breeks,
Riding on a ladle!

2.
Auld cutty pair, were ye at the fair? saw ye many
people?
Saw ye our guid man riding on a beetle?
Shame tak his wrinkled face that woudna buy a saidle,
Wearing a' his breeks riding on a laidle.
