Classic Poem

Seven lang years I hae served the King,
Fa fa fa fa lilly:
And I never got a sight of his daughter but ane:
Refrain
With my glimpy, glimpy, glimpy eedle,
Lillum too tee a ta too a tee a ta a tally.

I saw her thro' a whummil bore,
Fa fa fa fa lilly:
And I ne'er got a sight of her no more.

Twa was putting on her gown,
Fa fa fa fa lilly:
And ten was putting pins therein.

Twa was putting on her shoon,
Fa fa fa fa lilly:
And twa was buckling them again.

Five was coming down her hair,
Fa fa fa fa lilly:
And I ne'er got a sight of her nae mair.

Her neck and breast was like the snow,
Fa fa fa fa lilly:
Then from the bore I was forced to go.
