Letra
There was a wee cooper what lived in Fife
Knickety, knackety, no no no
And he had gotten a gentle wife
Hey willy-wallacky, how John Dougal, a lane quo rooshety roo roo roo
She wouldna bake, nor she wouldna brew
Knickety, knackety, no no no
For the spoilin' o' her comely hue
Hey willy-wallacky, how John Dougal, a lane quo rooshety roo roo roo
She wouldna wash, nor she wouldna wring
Knickety, knackety, no no no
For the spoilin' o' her gowden ring
Hey willy-wallacky, how John Dougal, a lane quo rooshety roo roo roo
She wouldna card, nor she wouldna spin
Knickety, knackety, no no no
For the shamin' o' her gentle kin
Hey willy-wallacky, how John Dougal, a lane quo rooshety roo roo roo
So the wee cooper went to his woodpack
Knickety, knackety, no no no
And laid a sheepskin on his wife’s back
Hey willy-wallacky, how John Dougal, a lane quo rooshety roo roo roo
'Now, I wouldna thrash ye for your gentle kin
Knickety, knackety, no no no
But I would thrash me ain sheepskin'
Hey willy-wallacky, how John Dougal, a lane quo rooshety roo roo roo
'Oh, I will bake and I will brew
Knickety, knackety, no no no
And nae mair think o' my comely hue!
Hey willy-wallacky, how John Dougal, a lane quo rooshety roo roo roo
'And I will wash and I will wring
Knickety, knackety, no no no
And nae mair think o' my gowden ring!
Hey willy-wallacky, how John Dougal, a lane quo rooshety roo roo roo
'And I will card and I will spin
Knickety, knackety, no no no
And nae mair think o' my gentle kin!'
Hey willy-wallacky, how John Dougal, a lane quo rooshety roo roo roo
So ye what has gotten a gentle wife
Knickety, knackety, no no no
Just ye send for the wee cooper o' Fife!
Hey willy-wallacky, how John Dougal, a lane quo rooshety roo roo roo
Tradução da letra
Havia um pequeno cooper que vivia em Fife.
Knickety, knackety, no no
E ele tinha tido uma esposa gentil.
Hey willy-wallacky, how John Dougal, a lane quo rooshety roo roo roo
Ela não cozinharia nem cozinharia
Knickety, knackety, no no
Para o estrago do seu belo tom
Hey willy-wallacky, how John Dougal, a lane quo rooshety roo roo roo
Ela não se lavaria, nem se contorcia
Knickety, knackety, no no
Pelo estrago do seu anel gowden
Hey willy-wallacky, how John Dougal, a lane quo rooshety roo roo roo
Ela não quer dar cartas, nem girar
Knickety, knackety, no no
Para os raios do seu gentil parente
Hey willy-wallacky, how John Dougal, a lane quo rooshety roo roo roo
Então o pequeno cooper foi para o seu Pica-Pau
Knickety, knackety, no no
E pôs uma pele de ovelha nas costas da mulher
Hey willy-wallacky, how John Dougal, a lane quo rooshety roo roo roo
"Agora, eu não vos traria para os vossos gentis parentes
Knickety, knackety, no no
But I would thrash me ain sheepskin'
Hey willy-wallacky, how John Dougal, a lane quo rooshety roo roo roo
'Oh, eu vou cozinhar e vou fazer
Knickety, knackety, no no
E não pense no meu belo tom!
Hey willy-wallacky, how John Dougal, a lane quo rooshety roo roo roo
"E eu vou lavar-me e vou torcer
Knickety, knackety, no no
E não pense no meu anel gowden!
Hey willy-wallacky, how John Dougal, a lane quo rooshety roo roo roo
"E eu vou dar cartas e vou rodar
Knickety, knackety, no no
E não pense no meu gentil parente!'
Hey willy-wallacky, how John Dougal, a lane quo rooshety roo roo roo
Por isso, vós, que tendes uma esposa gentil,
Knickety, knackety, no no
Mande chamar o pequeno cooper O Fife!
Hey willy-wallacky, how John Dougal, a lane quo rooshety roo roo roo
