The Tamosher

There were twa bonnie lassies and they were dressed in blue
 And they went out some rushes for tae pu'
 And yin o' them caught a wee thing before she did return
 And she bundled it and put it in her apron
 Well, the first man that she met was her faither on the stair
 Oh daughter dear daughter what have you got there
 Who gave to you the tamosher to wear the starched gown
 And you bundled it and put it in your apron
 Oh was it to the baker or was it to the clown
 Or was it to the bonnie boy that sails the world around
 Who gave to you the tamosher to wear the starched gown
 And you bundled it and put it in your apron
 It wasn't to the baker it wasn't to the clown
 It was to the bonnie boy that sails the world around
 He gave to me the tamosher to wear the starched gown
 And I bundled it and put it in my apron
 There were twa bonnie lassies and they were dressed in blue
 And they went out some rushes for tae pu'
 And yin o' them caught a wee thing before she did return
 And she bundled it and put it in her apron.
