Josie Weepers, Geordie Robison, Tam Bell, an’ Cripple Peg,
An’ the puir man nocknamed “Providence,” whae whiles gaed oot to beg.
The Cameronian merchants twae, the wee yin an’ the lang,
An’ Sawney Beck, wi’s aul’ white heck that scarce a fit could gang.
There was roup-crier Awnro’ Jimmison, whae hirplet in his walk,
An’ Wullie Smith, a carle o’ pith whae squeekit in his talk,
An’ wi’ a pow maist like a lowe the singin’ nailer chiel,
An’ droothy twuns, twae burniewun’s, Bob Johnston an’ Jock Steel.
Wullie Corrie, Sandy Moray, than a licht amang the Whigs,
An’ hairy-faced Bill Vairy, wi’ his wife gaun sellin’ pigs,
