Biz i’ the quaff, and flee the frost,

There we gat fu’ wi’ little cost,

An’ muckle speed;

Now wae worth death, our sport’s a’ lost,

Since Maggy’s dead.

Ae summer night I was sae fu’,

Amang the riggs I gaed to spew,

Syne down on a green bank I trow,

I took a nap,

An’ sought a night balillilu,
