Fare Ye Weel, My Auld Wife



[Printed in the 2d vol. of Herd's collection, 1776. It is also given, with the criminal music, in the 4th vol. of Johnson's Museum.]

And fare ye weel, my auld wife;
⁠     Sing bum, bee, berry, bum;
Fare ye weel, my auld wife;
⁠     Sing bum, bum, bum.
Fare ye weel, my auld wife,
The steerer up o' sturt and strife.
The maut 's abune the meal the nicht,
⁠     Wi' some, some, some.

And fare ye weel, my pike-staff;
     ⁠Sing bum, bee, berry, bum:
Fare ye weel, my pike-staff;
⁠     Sing bum, bum, bum.
Fare ye weel, my pike-staff,
Wi' you nae mair my wife I'll baff;
The maut 's abune the meal the nicht,
     ⁠Wi' some, some some.
