Success to James Scrymgeour	A
He's a very good man	B
And to gainsay it	C
There's few people can	B
	-
Because he makes the hearts	D
Of the poor o'erjoyed	C
By trying to find work for them	E
When they're unemployed	C
	-
And to their complaints	F
He has always an attentive ear	A
And ever ready to help them	E
When unto him they draw near	A
	-
And no matter what your occupation is	G
Or what is your creed	C
He will try to help you	H
In the time of need	C
	-
Because he has the fear	A
Of God within his heart	C
And the man that fears God	C
Always takes the poor's part	C
	-
And blessed is the man	B
That is kind to the poor	A
For his reward in heaven	I
'Tis said in the Scripture is sure	A
	-
And I hope heaven will be	J
Mr James Sctymgeour's reward	C
For his struggles on behalf of the poor	A
Are really vexatious and hard	C
	-
For he is to be seen daily	J
Walking along our streets	K
With a Christian looking countenance	L
And a kind word to all he meets	K
	-
Besides he is void of all pride	C
And wouldn't feel ashamed	C
To be seen with a beggar	A
Or a tinker walking by his side	C
	-
Fellow citizens of Dundee	J
Isn't it really very nice	M
To think of James Scrymgeour trying	N
To rescue fallen creatures from the paths of vice	M
	-
And in the winter he tries to provide	C
Hot dinners for the poor children of Dundee	J
Who are starving with hunger no doubt	C
And in the most abject poverty	J
	-
He is a little deaf no doubt	C
But not deaf to the cries of hungry men	O
No he always tries to do his best	C
To procure bread for them	E
	-
And at the Sabbath morning free breakfasts	P
He is often seen there	A
Administering to the wants of the hungry	J
And joining in prayer	A
	-
He is a man of noble principles	Q
As far as can think	R
And the noblest principle he has got	C
Is he abhors the demon drink	R
	-
And in my opinion he is right	C
As far as I can see	J
And I hereby proclaim that such a man	B
Is an honour to Dundee	J
	-
Because he is always working	N
For the poor people's good	C
Kind soul trying hard	C
To procure for them clothing and food	C
	-
Success to him and his family	J
And may God them defend	C
Why fellow citizens of Dundee	J
Because he is the poor man's friend	C
