	The Wife Wrapt in Wether's Skin A

	my kum lam, slam, dam, clear-y - o, . . Jimmy go. 2 When this old man came in from plough, Says : Have you got my breakfast now ? 3 She says: There's a piece of bread upon the shelf; If that don't do, go bake it yourself. 4 This old man went out to his sheep-pen, And soon had off an old wether's skin. 5 He placed it on his old wife's back, And with two sticks went wickety whack. 6 I'll tell your daddy and mammy and all your kin, How you tanned your wether's skin.
