| The tane unto the t'ither did say | B |
| Whaur shall we gang and dine the day | B |

| O we'll sit on his white hause bane | A |
| And I'll pyke out his bonny blue e'en | A |
| Wi' ae lock o' his gowden hair | E |
| We'll theek our nest when it blaws bare | E |

| Mony a ane for him makes maen | A |
| But nane shall ken whaur he is gane | A |
| Over his banes when they are bare | E |
| The wind shall blaw for evermair | E |
