An’ first the dust it gently laid,

An’ syne it cam’ in cats an’ doggies,

That loosed the cobble-stanes and played

Auld Hornie wi’ ma toggies.

O waly for ma coat o’ cheicks

That cost me guineas twa and three!

An’ waly for ma ditto breeks

Sae bagsome at the knee!

The creasies twa are past reca’

That gard them hang sae fine, sae fine,
