'''WOO'D AND MARRIED AND A'.''' Scottish, Shetland; Jig (9/8 time). F Major (Bremner, Glen, Gow): G Major (Aird, Harding): A Major (Kerr). Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Aird, Glen, Gow): AABB (Bremner, Kerr): AABBCC (Harding).

New pearlins and plenishing too,
The bride that has a’ to borrow,
Has e’en right mickle ado,
Woo’d and married and a’!
Woo’d and married and a’!
Is na’ she very weel aff
To be woo’d and married at a’?
