| On the holy Sabbath on the peaceful day ' | B |
| Said the huntsman playing on his old bagpipe | C |
| Boring to death the pheasant and the snipe | C |
| Boring the ptarmigan and grouse for fun | A |
| Boring them worse than a nine bore gun | A |
| Till the flaxen leaves where the prunes are ripe | C |
| Heard the tartan wind a droning in the pipe | C |
| And they heard Macpherson say | D |
| 'Where do the waves go What hotels | E |
| Hide their bustles and their gay ombrelles | E |

| There is a hotel at Ostend | I |
| Cold as the wind without an end | I |
| Haunted by ghostly poor relations | E |
| Of Bostonian conversations | E |
| Like bagpipes rotting through the walls | E |
| And there the pearl ropes fall like shawls | E |
| With a noise like marine waterfalls | E |
| And 'Another little drink wouldn't do us any harm ' | - |
| Pierces through the Sabbatical calm | J |
| And that is the place for me | H |
| So do not take a bath in Jordan Gordon | A |
| On the holy Sabbath on the peaceful day | I |
| Or you'll never go to heaven Gordon Macpherson | A |
| And speaking purely as a private person | A |

| That is the place | E |
