| Aw ye'll no be the loser | F |
| 'Tis better ten baskin' and blinkin' | E |
| Than ane that's a cruiser | F |
| If ye're bent as I tak it on slatter | F |

| When ye ken what to do | G |
| - | |
| Na na sir I doot na ye're willin' | E |
| But I canna permit ye | B |

| Wad hardly befit ye | B |
| And some work is deefficult hushin' | E |
| There'd be havers and chaff | J |
| 'Twull be best sir for you to be fushin' | E |
| And me wi' the gaff | J |
