As I Gaed In By Fisherraw Lyrics

As A gaed in by Fisherraw, Musselburgh was near me A tuik aff my musselpyock An courtit wi ma dearie Up stairs, doun stairs, Timmer stairs fears me A thocht it lang tae lie ma lane Whan A'm sae near ma dearie Had her apron bidden doun The kirk wad ne'er hae kent it But since the talk's about the toun Ma dear A cannae mend it Bit ye maun tae the cutty stool An A maun tae the pillar That's the wey the poor folks dae Because they hae nae siller
