Galloway Tam

written in 1792

O Galloway Tam came here to woo, I'd rather we'd gin him the brawnit cow; For our lass Bess may curse and ban The wanton wit o' Galloway Tam. O Galloway Tam came here to shear, I'd rather we'd gin him the gude gray mare; He kist the gudewife and strack the gudeman, And that's the tricks o' Galloway Tam.
