O ay my Wife she dang me

CHORUS.O ay my wife she dang me,An' aft my wife did bang me;If ye gie a woman a' her will,Guid faith she'll soon o'ergang ye.

On peace and rest my mind was bent,And fool I was I marry'd;But never honest man's intentAs cursedly miscarry'd.

Some sa'r o' comfort still at last,When a' thir days are done, man,My pains o' hell on earth are past,I'm sure o' bliss aboon, man.O ay my wife, &c.
