CLXXVI Schottische

[Xml]

Jimmy Rampy a come oh, Sal oh!
Jimmy Rampy a come oh, Sal oh!
Some a wash him foot, some a comb him hair,
Some a put him to bed, put him to bed oh, Sal oh!
Jimmy Rampy a come oh! Sal oh!
Jimmy Rampy a come oh, Sal oh!
Some a wash him foot, some a comb him hair,
Some a put him to bed, put him to bed oh, Sal oh!

“Sal oh!” is perhaps a corruption of Salut. Tradition associates a curtsey with the word.
