Summary

Dark John MacLeod, the sixpence, and the cock.

Dark John MacLeod went home to see his mother. He would go out drinking every night, with only a sixpence to his name. He killed his mother's cock, and boiled it in a pot. She sent for the minister, and whilst he was lecturing John, the cock jumped out of pot, alive and flapping.
