O wally wally up yon wood,
and down by bonny yarrow,
The lassie lost her ⟨shood⟩
wi Will her winsome marrow.
Stately stapt he east the wa,
the lad I darena name man;
Geordy reigns in Charlies hay
send Lewie Gordon hame man;
In winter when the rain rain'd cauld;
Willie brew'd a peck o ⟨maut⟩ man;
John Anderson yer'e growing auld,
pit a sheeps head i' the pat man.
The tailor cam to clout the claise,
upon a lammas night man,
Which caus'd the battle o'the flaes,
and shaw'd M'Craw great might man;
John Tamson at the key-hole keeks,
my Wifes a wanton pauky,
Shes clouting Johnnys grey brecks,
and Bess shes but a gauky.
In Fife there liv'd a wicked wife,
And she has taen the gee man,
The ⟨door⟩ barring caus'd the strife,
