Gude'en To You, Kimmer

By Robert Burns

I.

Gude'en to you, kimmer,
And how do ye do?
Hiccup, quo' kimmer,
The better that I'm fou.

We're a noddin, nid, nid, noddin,
We're a noddin at our house at hame.

II.

Kate sits in the neuk,
Suppin' hen broo;
Deil tak' Kate,
An' she be na noddin too!

III.

How's a' wi' you, kimmer,
And how do ye fare?
A pint o' the best o' t,
And twa pints mair.

IV.

How's a' wi' you, kimmer,
And how do ye thrive?
How mony bairns hae ye?
Quo' kimmer, I hae five.

V.

Are they a' Johnny's?
Eh! atweel na:
Twa o' them were gotten
When Johnny was awa.

VI.

Cats like milk,
And dogs like broo,
Lads like lasses weel,
And lasses lads too.

We're a noddin, nid, nid, noddin,
We're a noddin at our house at hame.
