Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEEBBFFGBBBHHEE| Welcome thrice welcome to the year | A |
| For it is the year I intend to leave Dundee | B |
| Owing to the treatment I receive | C |
| Which does my heart sadly grieve | C |
| Every morning when I go out | D |
| The ignorant rabble they do shout | D |
| 'There goes Mad McGonagall' | E |
| In derisive shouts as loud as they can bawl | E |
| And lifts stones and snowballs throws them at me | B |
| And such actions are shameful to be heard in the city of Dundee | B |
| And I'm ashamed kind Christians to confess | F |
| That from the Magistrates I can get no redress | F |
| Therefore I have made up my mind in the year of | G |
| To leave the ancient City of Dundee | B |
| Because the citizens and me cannot agree | B |
| The reason why because they disrespect me | B |
| Which makes me feel rather discontent | H |
| Therefore to leave them I am bent | H |
| And I will make my arrangements without delay | E |
| And leave Dundee some early day | E |
