Unknown - Reel O Stumpie текст песни

The Reel O' Stumpie

Hap and Rowe Hap and Rowe, (note: first verse can be sung as
Hap and rowe the feetie o't chorus, or repeated after last
I thocht I was a maiden fine verse)
'Til I heard the greetie o't

My daddy he was a fiddler fine
My minnie he made a mankie, O,
And I myself a thumpin' queen
Wha danced the Reel O' Stumpie, O

Dance and sing, dance and sing,
Hey, the merry dancing, O,
And all the love-locks wavin' 'round
And all the bright eyes glancin', O

The pipes come wi' their gladsome note
And then with dool and dumpie, O,
But the lightest tune to a maiden's foot
Is the gallant Reel O' Stumpie, O

The gossip cup, the gossip cup
The kimmer clash and caudle, O,
The waning moon the wanton loon
The cutty stool and cradle, O

Douce dames wha hae their bairn-time borne
Sae dinna glower sae glumpie, O,
Cocks love the morn and crows love corn
And maids the Reel of Stumpie, O

RG Note: If you can't decipher all the braid Scots, dinna fash
yersel' --- it means exactly what it sounds like
