| Ye sons of old Killie assembled by Willie | B |
| To follow the noble vocation | C |
| Your thrifty old mother has scarce such another | D |
| To sit in that honoured station | C |
| I've little to say but only to pray | E |
| As praying's the ton of your fashion | C |
| A prayer from the muse you well may excuse | F |
| 'Tis seldom her favourite passion | C |

| Ye powers who preside o'er the wind and the tide | G |
| Who marked each element's border | D |
| Who formed this frame with beneficent aim | H |
| Whose sovereign statute is order | D |
| Within this dear mansion may wayward contention | C |
| Or withered envy ne'er enter | D |
| May secrecy round be the mystical bound | I |
| And brotherly love be the centre | D |
Robert Burns
