Oh Dear Me |
| Oh dear me The mills gaen fast |
| The puir wee shifters |
| Canna get a rest |
| Shiftin' bobbins, coarse and fine |
| They fairly mak' ye work for your ten and nine |
| Oh dear me I wish the day was done |
| Runnin' up and doon the pass |
| Is nae fun |
| Shiftin', piecin', spinnin' |
| Warp, weft and twine |
| Tae feed and cled my bairnie |
| After ten and nine |
| Oh dear me The warld’s ill divided |
| Them that work the hardest are aye |
| Wi' least provided |
| But I maun bide contented |
| Dark days or fine |
| There’s no much pleasure living |
| After ten and nine |
