Rhyme Scheme: AAAA BBCC DDEF GHII AAAA| Doon cam the sunbeams and up gaed the stour | A |
| As we spangt ower the road at ten mile the hoor | A |
| The horse wasna timmer the cart wasna strae | A |
| And little cared we for the burn or the brae | A |
| - | |
| We war young and the hert in's was strang i' the loup | B |
| And deeper in yet was the courage and houp | B |
| The sun was gey aft in a clood but the heat | C |
| Cam throu and dried saftly the doon fa'en weet | C |

| Noo the horsie's some tired but the road's nae sae lang | D |
| The sun comes na oot but he's no in a fang | D |
| The nicht's comin on but hame's no far awa | E |
| We hae come a far road but hae payit for a' | F |
| - | |
| For ane has been wi' us and sometimes 'maist seen | G |
| Wha's cared for us better nor a' oor four e'en | H |
| He's cared for the horsie the man and the wife | I |
| And we're gaein hame to him for the rest o' oor life | I |
| - | |
| Doon comes the water and up gangs nae stour | A |
| We creep ower the road at twa mile the hoor | A |
| But oor herts they are canty for ane's to the fore | A |
| Wha was and wha is and will be evermore | A |
