Wee Cooper of Fife 
There was a wee cooper who lived in fife Nickety, nockety, noo, noo, noo 
And he has gotten a gentle wife Hey Willie Wallacky, hey John Dougall Alane quo' rushety, roo, roo, roo 
She wouldna bake, she wouldna brew Nickety, nockety, noo, noo, noo 
For spoiling o' her comely hue Hey Willie Wallacky, hey John Dougall Alane quo' rushety, roo, roo, roo 
Ahe wouldna wash, she wouldna wring, Nickety, nockety, noo, noo, noo 
For spoiling o' her gowden ring Hey Willie Wallacky, hey John Dougall Alane quo' rushety, roo, roo, roo 
She wouldna caird, she wouldna spin Nickety, nockety, noo, noo, noo 
For shaming of her gentle kin Hey Willie Wallacky, hey John Dougall Alane quo' rushety, roo, roo, roo 
The cooper has gone to his woo' pack Nickety, nockety, noo, noo, noo 
And laid a sheepskin on his wife's back Hey Willie Wallacky, hey John Dougall Alane quo' rushety, roo, roo, roo 
It's I'll no lether ye for your kin Nickety, nockety, noo, noo, noo 
But I will lether my own sheepskin Hey Willie Wallacky, hey John Dougall Alane quo' rushety, roo, roo, roo 
Oh, I will bake and I will brew Nickety, nockety, noo, noo, noo 
And think nae mair o' my comely hue Hey Willie Wallacky, hey John Dougall Alane quo' rushety, roo, roo, roo 
Oh, I will wash and I will wring Nickety, nockety, noo, noo, noo 
And think nae mair o' my gowden ring Hey Willie Wallacky, hey John Dougall Alane quo' rushety, roo, roo, roo 
I will caird and I will spin Nickety, nockety, noo, noo, noo 
And think nae mair o' my gentle kin Hey Willie Wallacky, Hey John Dougall Alane quo' rushety, roo, roo, roo 
Noo you that have gotten a gentle wife Nickety, nockety, noo, noo, noo 
Just send ye for the wee cooper of Fife [1] Hey Willie Wallacky, hey John Dougall Alane quo rushety, roo, roo, roo 
[1] or,[ Just mind ye o' the wee cooper o' Fife] MS
