Lady John Scott's fragment:
When I was engaged a coalbearer to be, When I was engaged a coalbearer to be Thro all the coal-pits I maun wear the dron brat, If my heart it should break, I wad never get free!!
C.K. Sharpe's fragments:
There's a lad i' the town has a fancy for me, There's a lad i' the town has a fancy for me, But they're nearer my heart that's farer frae me, An he's blacker that I loe better than he. There's a better an' better providing for me, There's a better an' better providing for me, There's a better an' better providing for me, There's a coach an six horses a' riding for me.
