Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDBDB DBEBFGHB| Amang the trees where humming bees | A |
| At buds and flowers were hinging O | B |
| Auld Caledon drew out her drone | C |
| And to her pipe was singing O | B |
| 'Twas Pibroch Sang Strathspeys and Reels | D |
| She dirl'd them aff fu' clearly O | B |
| When there cam' a yell o' foreign squeels | D |
| That dang her tapsalteerie O | B |
| - | |
| Their capon craws an' queer ha ha's | D |
| They made our lugs grow eerie O | B |
| The hungry bike did scrape and fyke | E |
| Till we were wae and weary O | B |
| But a royal ghaist wha ance was cas'd | F |
| A prisoner aughteen year awa' | G |
| He fir'd a Fiddler in the North | H |
| That dang them tapsalteerie O | B |
