There cam a man to oor toon en'	A
And a waesome carl was he	B
Snipie nebbit and crookit mou'd	C
And gleyt o' a blinterin ee	B
Muckle he spied and muckle he spak	D
But the owercome o' his sang	E
Whatever it said was aye the same	F
There's nane o' ye a' but's wrang	E
Ye're a' wrang and a' wrang	E
And a'thegither a' wrang	E
There's no a man aboot the toon	A
But's a'thegither a' wrang	E
	-
That's no the gait to fire the breid	C
Nor yet to brew the yill	G
That's no the gait to haud the pleuch	H
Nor yet to ca the mill	G
That's no the gait to milk the coo	E
Nor yet to spean the calf	I
Nor yet to tramp the girnel meal	G
Ye kenna yer wark by half	I
Ye're a' wrang c	E
	-
The minister wasna fit to pray	J
And lat alane to preach	H
He nowther had the gift o' grace	K
Nor yet the gift o' speech	H
He mind't him o' Balaaem's ass	L
Wi' a differ we micht ken	A
The Lord he opened the ass's mou	F
The minister opened's ain	A
He was a' wrang and a' wrang	E
And a'thegither a' wrang	E
There wasna a man aboot the toon	A
But was a'thegither a' wrang	E
	-
The puir precentor couldna sing	E
He gruntit like a swine	A
The verra elders couldna pass	L
The ladles til his min'	A
And for the rulin' elder's grace	K
It wasna worth a horn	A
He didna half uncurse the meat	C
Nor pray for mair the morn	A
He was a' wrang c	E
	-
And aye he gied his nose a thraw	J
And aye he crook't his mou	F
And aye he cockit up his ee	E
And said Tak tent the noo	A
We snichert hint oor loof my man	A
But never said him nay	A
As gien he had been a prophet man	A
We loot him say his say	A
Ye're a' wrang c	E
	-
Quo oor gudeman The crater's daft	C
Heard ye ever sic a claik	E
Lat's see gien he can turn a ban'	A
Or only luik and craik	E
It's true we maunna lippin til him	F
He's fairly crack wi' pride	C
But he maun live we canna kill him	F
Gien he can work he s' bide	C
He was a' wrang and a' wrang	E
And a'thegither a' wrang	E
There troth the gudeman o' the toon	A
Was a'thegither a' wrang	E
	-
Quo he It's but a laddie's turn	A
But best the first be a sma' thing	E
There's a' thae weyds to gether and burn	A
And he's the man for a' thing	E
We yokit for the far hill moss	M
There was peats to cast and ca	E
O' 's company we thoucht na loss	M
'Twas peace till gloamin fa'	I
We war a' wrang and a' wrang	E
And a'thegither a' wrang	E
There wasna man aboot the toon	A
But was a'thegither a' wrang	E
	-
For losh or it was denner time	F
The toon was in a low	G
The reek rase up as it had been	A
Frae Sodom flames I vow	I
We lowst and rade like mad for byre	J
And ruck bleezt a' thegither	J
As gien the deil had broucht the fire	J
Frae's hell to mak anither	J
'Twas a' wrang and a' wrang	E
And a'thegither a' wrang	E
Stick and strae aboot the place	K
Was a'thegither a' wrang	E
	-
And luikin on ban's neth his tails	N
The waesome carl stude	C
To see him wagglin at thae tails	N
'Maist drave 's a' fairly wud	C
Ain wite he cried I tauld ye sae	N
Ye're a' wrang to the last	C
What gart ye burn thae deevilich weyds	N
Whan the win' blew frae the wast	C
Ye're a' wrang and a' wrang	E
And a'thegither a' wrang	E
There's no a man i' this fule warl	G
But's a'thegither a' wrang	E
