| The yellow hair'd lass of the Dene | A |
| Erewhile she look's cosy and canny | A |
| But now now what aileth the queen | A |
| - | |
| Erewhile she'd the bearing which blesses | B |
| The heart of the weary and worn | A |

| And burdens the air with her scorn | A |

| Now Tab on the house top is sitting | D |
| And dare not come down for her life | C |

| 'What aileth the jewel ' Quoth granny | A |
| 'What aileth the winds when they blow | E |
| When the reason's no secret to Fanny | A |
| The reason we mortals may know ' | - |
