A Winsome Lass & The Bonny Boy

In 'Oor Tree Hoose

In 'Oor Treehoose                          by OwainGlyn

Ye're hoose is up and now complete;

I'll say it now, it was a feat.

I've built it sturdy, built it strong,

it's verra high, and verra long.   

Ye’re Mammie’s room is at the top,

so all ye’re nagging, now can stop.

I've painted it in 'post box' red,

same colour as I've done the bed.   

Now send out wedding invitations;

and dinnae invite my relations.

The've nae got manners, nae got class;

they'll nick the silver and the glass.   

Horatio is my best man.

You find a maid, I'm sure you can.

I cannae wait to marry you,

I promise ye, I will stay true.   

So come on lass, I cannae wait

to leave 'oor bed in a state.

Next Wednesday will be fine by me,

we'll hold our nuptials in 'oor tree!!
