FIT THE GUTTERS [1]. AKA and see "Appin House (1)." Shetland, Whalsay. Cooke (1986) gives three texts for this tune:

Wis du at me bridal, fit the gutters, fit the gutters
Wis du at me bridal, fit the gutters brawly
Dat I wis and 'Be me deid', Dat I wis and 'Be me deid'
Dat I wis and 'Be me deid', Me and pirrie Mallie.

Wis du at me wedding, Jaanie Nittle, Jaanie Nittle...
Dat I wis and 'Be me deid' and got a chunk o lairvin.

...Dat I wis an 'Be me soul'...
