Wee Cooper O’ Fife Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There was a wee cooper wha lived in Fife
Nickety, nackety, noo, noo, noo;
He had gotten a gentle wife
Hey, willy wallacky, hey, John Dougal
Alane, quo rushety, roo, roo, roo

[Verse 2]
She would na bake, she would na brew
Nickety, nackety, noo, noo, noo;
For the spilin' o' her comely hue
Hey, willy wallacky, hey, John Dougal
Alane, quo rushety, roo, roo, roo

[Verse 3]
She would na card, she would na spin
Nickety, nackety, noo, noo, noo;
For the shamin' o' her gentle kin
Hey, willy wallacky, hey, John Dougal
Alane, quo rushety, roo, roo, roo

[Verse 4]
The cooper has gone to his woo' shack
Nickety, nackety, noo, noo, noo;
And put a sheep's skin across his wife's back
Hey, willy wallacky, hey, John Dougal
Alane, quo rushety, roo, roo, roo

[Verse 5]
"I will na thrash sheep or your gentle kin
Nickety, nackety, noo, noo, noo;
But I will thrash my ain sheepskin."
Hey, willy wallacky, hey, John Dougal
Alane, quo rushety, roo, roo, roo

[Verse 6]
Now ye, wha gotten a gentle wife
Nickety, nackety, noo, noo, noo;
Just send ye for the wee cooper o' Fife
Hey, willy wallacky, hey, John Dougal
Alane, quo rushety, roo, roo, roo
