| When I must leave the world and you | A |
| Who'll give ye then a sheltering shed | B |
| Or credit ye when I am dead | B |
| Who'll let ye by their fire sit | C |
| Although ye have a stock of wit | C |

| May fost'ring fathers be to you | A |
| If not expect to be no less | F |
| Ill used than babes left fatherless | G |
