Chorus. We'll hide the cooper behint the door, Behint the door, behint the door, Will hide the cooper behint the door, And cover him under a mawn, O.
The cooper o' Cuddie came here awa, He ca'd the girrs out owre us a', An' our gudewife has gotten a ca', That's anger'd the silly gudeman, O.
He sought them out, he sought them in, Wi', ' Deil hae her!' and, ' Deil hae him !' But the body he was sae doited and blin1, He wistna where he was gaun, O.
They cooper'd at e'en, they cooper'd at morn, ' Till our gudeman has gotten the scorn ; On ilka brow she's planted a horn, And swears that there they sail stan', O! |
