THREE TIMES CROWDIE IN ONE DAY. AKA and see "Crowdie," "Three crowdeys in a day." Scottish, Air (whole time). E Flat Major (Marr). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB.
Wee bit bruckit, drunken bodie,
Drinkin', daidlin' a' the day,
Gin ye winna work for crowdie,
What can your puir wifie do?
A' the weans cry crowdie, crowdie,
Crowdie, mammy, crowdie mae,
Till the wee bit hungry tots
Hae crowdied a' my meal away.
Robert Burns reworked the words to the song for his "Crowdie Ever Mair" (1795):
O that I had ne'er been married,
I wad never had nae care,
Now I've gotten wife an' weans,
An' they cry "Crowdie" evermair.
Chorus:
Ance crowdie, twice crowdie,
Three times crowdie in a day
Gin ye crowdie ony mair,
Ye'll crowdie a' my meal away.
Waefu' Want and Hunger fley me,
Glowrin' by the hallan en';
Sair I fecht them at the door,
But aye I'm eerie they come ben.
Ance crowdie, &c.
