We fleeced them a’ as clean and as bare

As was ever a sheep or a lamb oh!

Chorus—A’ for the barrin’ o’ oor door, &c.

But when we found they meant to use

The knowledge for which they had paid oh!

And on the trade o’ us medical men

Micht mak’ a furious raid oh!

Chorus—We began the barrin’ o’ oor door, &c.

Hech, sirs, tae drive thae women awa’

Was a job baith sair and teuch, sirs;
