The Cardin’ O’t, the Spinnin’ O’t

The works of Robert Burns

Available for over a year

The cardin' o't, the spinnin' o't, The warpin' o't, the winnin' o't; When ilka ell cost me a groat, The tailor staw the lynin' o't. I coft a stane o' haslock woo', To mak a wab to Johnie o't ; For Johnie is my only jo, I loe him best of onie yet. For tho' his locks be lyart grey, And tho' his brow be beld aboon, Yet I hae seen him on a day, The pride of a' the parishen. The cardin' o't, the spinnin' o't, The warpin' o't, the winnin' o't ; When ilka ell cost me a groat, The tailor staw the lynin' o't.
