"Lie still, lie still but a little wee while,

Lie still but if we may;

Gin my mother should miss us when she wakes

She'll go mad ere it be day.

"Our mother has nae mair but us;

See where she leans asleep;

The mantle that was on herself,

She has happ'd it round our feet."

Up then crew the red, red cock,

And up and crew the grey;
