I was crooning the auld dirgie; if it does nae guid, it does nae harm. She recited in a monotone: 'When thou frae here away art past Every nicht and all To Whinny-muir thou comest at last, And Christ receive thy saul. 'If ever thou gavest hosen and shoon Every nicht and all Sit thee down and put them on, And Christ receive thy saul 'Alas, he never gave nane, puir man, said the woman with a sob.
