| It were a great pity | B |
| That he frae our lasses shou'd wander awa | C |

| Weel favour'd an' a' | D |
| And his hair has a natural buckle an' a' | D |
| His coat is the hue | E |
| Of his bonnet sae blue | E |
| His feck it is white as the new driven snaw | F |
| His hose they are blae | E |
| And his shoon like the slae | E |
| And his clear siller buckles they dazzle us a' | D |

| For beauty and fortune | F |
| The laddie's been courtin' | F |
| Weel featured weel tocher'd weel mounted and braw | A |
| But chiefly the siller | A |
| That gars him gang till her | A |
| The pennie's the jewel that beautifies a' | D |
| There's Meg wi' the mailen | F |
| That fain wad a haen him | G |
| And Susie whose daddy was laird o' the ha' | E |
| There's lang tocher'd Nancy | B |
| Maist fetters his fancy | B |
| But the laddie's dear sel' he lo'es dearest of a' | D |
