The song begins with the wife busy in her cooking and other chores. As the wind picks up, the husband tells her to close and bar the door. They make a pact that the next person who speaks must bar the door, and the door remains open. At midnight two thieves enter the house and eat the puddings that the wife has just made. The husband and wife watch them, but still neither speaks out of stubborn pride. Amazed, one of the thieves proposes to molest the wife. Finally, the husband shouts "Ye've eaten my bread, ye hae druken my ale, and ye'll mak my auld wife a whore!"The wife, having won the pact, tells the husband to bar the door.
