That she'll never, never wed:
That she's planned to dwell with moth
And to care for her instead

Many times that tale youvs heard:

When that self-same lassie murmurs
That a secret she will keep.
That she'll tell no living person
In her heart twill ever sleep.
Don't believe her-do not tell her.
Treat her statement as absurd:
But it's not polite to utter
That one short and ugly word.
When a pretty lassie tells you
She can cook. although you know
That her mothers in the kitchen.
