The weary pund the weary pundA
The weary pund o' towA
I think my wife will end her lifeB
Before she spin her towA
I bought my wife a stane o' lintA
As gude as e'er did growA
And a' that she has made o' thatA
Is ae poor pund o' towA

There sat a bottle in a boleC
Beyont the ingle lowA
And ay she took the tither soukD
To drouk the stowrie towA

Quoth I for shame ye dirty dameE
Gae spin your tap o' towA
She took the rock and wi' a knockF
She brak it o'er my powG

At last her feet I sang to see'tA
Gaed foremost o'er the knoweH
And or I wad anither jadA
I'll wallop in a towA
The weary pund the weary pundA
The weary pund o' towA
I think my wife will end her lifeB
Before she spin her towA
