I ve nothing but my penny fee,
to keep myself and a' that,
To claith myself and bairns three,
to pay the tax and a' that,
And a' that and a' that.
and drink and snuff and a' that
Yet cheerly I'll pay my mite,
for country king and a' that.
We'll pay our taxes cheerfully,
they ll maybe wear awa, yet.
When fashions and ambitions men,
are fairly rul'd by law yet.
And a' that and a' that,
and thrice as meikle's a' that.
Shall we be rul'd by Buonapart?
old Scotland never saw that.
In former days our Scottish lads,
their swords did boldly draw man
They fought the Romans and the Danes
and drave them baith awa man.
