Chorus-We’ll hide the Cooper behint the door,
Behint the door, behint the door,
We’ll hide the Cooper behint the door,
And cover him under a mawn, O.

The Cooper o’Cuddy came here awa,
He ca’d the girrs out o’er us a’;
An’our gudewife has gotten a ca’,
That’s anger’d the silly gudeman O.
We’ll hide the Cooper, &c.

He sought them out, he sought them in,
Wi’deil hae her! an’, deilhaehim!
Butthe bodyhe was saedoitedand blin’,
He wist nawhere he was gaunO.
We’ll hide the Cooper, &c.

They cooper’d at e’en, they cooper’d at morn,
Tillour gudeman has gottenthe scorn;
On ilka brow she’s planted a horn,
And swears that there they sallstan’O.
We’ll hide the Cooper, &c.
