Poem by Joanna Baillie Fee him, Father Saw ye Johnny comin', quo' she, Saw ye Johnny comin'. Saw ye Johnny comin', quo' she, Saw ye Johnny comin; Saw ye Johnny comin', quo' she, Saw ye Johnny comin'; Wi' his blue bonnet on his head, And his doggie rinnin', quo' she, And his doggie rinnin'? Fee him, father, fee him, quo' she, Fee him, father, fee him; Fee him, father, fee him, quo' she, Fee him, father, fee him; For he is a gallant lad, And a weel-doin'; And a' the wark about the house, Gaes wi' me when I see him, quo' she, Wi' me when I see him. What will I do wi' him, quo' he, What will I do wi' him? He's ne'er a sark upon his back, And I ha'e nane to gi'e him. I ha'e twa sarks into my kist, And ane o' them I'll gi'e him; And for a merk o' mair fee Dinna stand wi' him, quo' she, Dinna stand wi' him. For weel do I lo'e him, quo' she, Weel do I lo'e him; For weel do I lo'e him, quo' she, Weel do I lo'e him. O fee him, father, fee him. quo' she, Fee him, father, fee him; He'll haud the pleugh, thrash in the barn, And crack wi' me at e'en, quo' she, And crack wi' me at e'en.
