the Long Stairs
It's doon the Lang Stairs,
And strite alang the Close,
All in Baker's Entry,
Adam Buckham Knows
.
Nanny carries water,
Tommy Cobbles shoes,
And Adam gans aboot
Gethering in the news
.
Adam kissed the servant lass,
That will never do;
If he dissent mind himsel,
The kitty myeks him rue,
.
Adam gat the lass wi' bairn;
That will never do.
If he dinna marry her
The kitty gars him rue.
.
(kitty=jail; to gar= to make, to cause)
