| Or nip my buds o' plum | K |
| Most feather fowl I drive away | L |

| Thou's plannin' marlocks all the time | K |
| Donned i' thy sowdier coat | I |
| An' what we tak for hymns o' praise | J |

| Beneath yon laurel tree | C |
| Thy neb was reed wi' blooid thou looked | I |
| As chuffy as could be | C |
| Thou's got no mense nor morals Bob | S |
| But weel I know thy charm | K |
| Ay thou can stand upon my spade | I |
| I'll niver do thee harm | K |
