Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE BFBF GAGA| O Jean my Jean when the bell ca's the congregation | A |
| Owre valley an' hill wi' the ding frae its iron mou' | B |
| When a'body's thochts is set on his ain salvation | A |
| Mine's set on you | C |
| - | |
| There's a reid rose lies on the Buik o' the Word 'afore ye | D |
| That was growin' braw on its bush at the keek o' day | E |
| But the lad that pu'd yon flower i' the mornin's glory | D |
| He canna pray | E |
| - | |
| He canna pray but there's nane i' the kirk will heed him | B |
| Whaur he sits sae still his lane at the side o' the wa | F |
| For nane but the reid rose kens what my lassie gie'd him | B |
| It an' us twa | F |
| - | |
| He canna sing for the sang that his ain he'rt raises | G |
| He canna see for the mist that's 'afore his een | A |
| An a voice drouns the hale o' the psalms an' the paraphrases | G |
| Cryin' Jean Jean Jean | A |
