Oor Jock's gude mither's second man	A
At banes was unco skilly	B
It cam' by heirskep frae an aunt	C
Leeb Tod o' Nether Tillie	B
An' when he thocht to sough awa'	D
He sent for Jock ay did he	B
An' wulled him the bane doctorin'	A
Wi' a' the lave o's smiddy	B
	-
A braw doon settin' 'twas for Jock	E
An' for a while it paid him	F
For wi's great muckle nieves like mells	G
He pit in banes wi' smeddum	F
Ay mony a bane he snappit in	A
At elbuck thee an' shouther	H
Gin ony wouldna gang his gait	I
Jock dang them a' to poother	H
	-
Noo smiddy wark's a droothy job	J
Sae whiles Jock wat his whustle	B
When wi' a horse shoe or a bane	A
He'd held some unco tussle	B
But even though miracklous whiles	G
It mattered nane whativer	H
For whaur's the body disna ken	A
A drucken doctor's cliver	H
	-
Ae nicht when Jock was gey weel on	A
An' warslin' wi' some shoein'	A
They brocht a bane case intil him	F
That proved puir Jock's undoin'	A
A cadger wi' an auld cork leg	K
An' fou as Jock or fouer	H
Wha swore that o' his lower limb	F
He'd fairly lost the pooer	H
	-
Jock fin's the leg an' shaks his heid	L
Syne tells the man richt solemn	A
Your knee pan's slippit up your thee	B
Aside your spinal column	A
But gin ye'll tak a seat owre here	H
An' lat them haud ye ticht man	A
I'se warrant for a quart o' beer	H
I'll quickly hae ye richt man	A
	-
Jock yokit noo wi' rale guid wull	B
To better the condeetion	A
While Corkie swore he had his leg	K
Ca'd a' to crockaneetion	A
Jock banned the lamp 'twas in his een	A
An' deaved wi' Corkie's granin'	A
Quo' he Gin ye'll pit oot the licht	M
I'll gey sune pit the bane in	A
	-
Oot went the licht Jock got his grup	N
He yarkit an' he ruggit	M
He doobled up puir Corkie's leg	K
Syne strauchtened it an' tuggit	M
An' while that baith the twa o' them	F
Were sayin' some orra wordies	G
Auld Corkie's leg wi' hauf o's breeks	G
Cam' clean aff at the hurdies	G
	-
Jock swat wi' fear an' in the dark	O
He crep' attour the smiddy	M
For weel a wat he thocht his wark	P
Would land him on the widdy	M
An' wi' the leg he ran till's hoose	G
Just half way doon the clachan	A
His cronies oxterin' Corkie oot	M
An' nearly deein' o' lauchin'	A
	-
But at Jock's door they stude an hour	H
An' vainly kicked an' knockit	M
Sin' Jock in a' the fear o' death	Q
Had got it barred an' lockit	M
An' 'twas na till the neist forenune	A
They fand the leg weel hidden	A
For Jock was oot afore daylicht	M
An' stuck it in the midden	A
	-
This feenished Jock an' efter han'	A
He buckled til his ain wark	P
For sune a' owre the kintra side	M
They kent aboot his bane wark	P
An' hoo a law wer fleggit Jock	E
At Corkie's instigation	A
An' gart him pay a five pun' note	M
By way o' compensation	A
	-
Ne sutor ultra crepidam	F
Is gude enough for maist o's	G
For aye there's wark that's bude to get	M
The better o' the best o's	G
An' just as doctors canna shoe	R
Or haud a hin' leg stiddy	M
Ye needa seek for surgery	M
Inside a country smiddy	M
