'A Bhean a Bh'aig an Tàillear Chaol
A Scottish puirt a beul (mouth music) song, with words that are bawdy in parts. The Gaelic title translates as "The skinny tailor's wife." The tune is the same as the strathspey "Lady Madelina Sinclair", printed by the Gows in 1792. Lyrics begin:
A' bhean a bh'aig an tàillear chaol, thug an taog an ceann dith;
A' bhean a bh'aig an tàillear chaol, thug an taog an ceann dith;
A' bhean a bh'aig an tàillear chaol, thug an taog an ceann dith,
Thug an taog na casan agus thug an cat an ceann dith.
A' bhean a bh'aig an tàillear chaol, thug an taog an ceann dith,
Thug an taog na casan agus thug an cat an ceann dith.
