Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDE FGHGIJIJ KLKLIMIM| O Rab an' Dave an' rantin' Jim | A |
| The geans were turnin' reid | B |
| When Scotland saw yer line grow dim | A |
| Wi' the pipers at its heid | C |
| Noo i' yon warld we dinna ken | D |
| Like strangers ye maun gang | E |
| We've sic a wale o' Angus men | D |
| That we canna weary lang | E |
| - | |
| An' little Wat my brither Wat | F |
| Man are ye aye the same | G |
| Or is yon sma' white hoose forgot | H |
| Doon by the strath at hame | G |
| An' div' ye mind foo aft we trod | I |
| The Isla's banks before | J |
| My place is wi' the Hosts o' God | I |
| But I mind me o' Strathmore | J |
| - | |
| It's daith comes skirling through the sky | K |
| Below there's naucht but pain | L |
| We canna see whaur deid men lie | K |
| For the drivin' o' the rain | L |
| Ye a' hae passed frae fear an' doot | I |
| Ye're far frae airthly ill | M |
| We're near we're here my wee recruit | I |
| An' we fecht for Scotland still | M |
