She   Auld gudeman, ye're a drunken carle, drunken carle,
     A' the lang day ye wink and drink, gape and gaunt;
     Of sottish loons ye're the pink and pearl, pink and pearl,
     Ill fa'r'd, doited, ne'er-do-weel.
He    Auld gudewife! ye're a flytin body, flytin body;
     Will ye hae now, but gude be thank'd, the wit ye want;
     The puttin cow Should be ay a doddy, ay a doddy,
     Mak na sic an awsome reel
She   Ye're a sow, auld man,
     Ye get fou, auld man,
     Fye shame, auld man,
     To your wame, auld man,
     Sair pinch'd I win, wi' spinnin tow,
     A plack to clead, ye're back and pow.
He    It's a lie, gudewife,
     It's your tea, gudewife;
     Na, na, gudewife,
     Ye spend a', gudewife,
     Dinna fa' on me pell-mell,
     Ye like a drap fou-weel yoursel.
She   Ye's  rue, auld gowk, your jest and frolic, jest and frolic,
     Dare ye say, goose, I ever likd' to tak a drappy?
     An 'twerena just for to cure the cholic, cure the cholic,
     De'il a drap wad weet my mou.
He    Troth, gudewife, ye wadna swither, wadna swither
     Soon soon to tak a cholic, whan it brings a drap o' cappy;
     But twa score o' years we hae fought thegither, fought thegither,
     Time it is to gree, I trow.
She   I'm wrang, auld John,
     Owr lang, auld John,
     For nought, gude John,
     We hae fought, gude John;
     Let's help to bear ilk ither's weight,
     We're far owre feckless now to feght.
He    Ye're right, gudewife,
     The night, gudewife,
     Our cup, gude Kate,
     We'll sup, gude Kate;
     Thegither frae this hour we'll draw,
     And toom the stoup atWeen us twa!
