Wat o’ the Cleuch! Wat o’ the Cleuch!

That’s the cheer for Wat o’ the Cleuch!

But the devil is cunning as I heard say,

He knew his right, and haul’d him away;

And he’s over the border and over the heuch,

And off to hell with Wat o’ the Cleuch.

Wat o’ the Cleuch! Wat o’ the Cleuch!

Lack-a-day for Wat o’ the Cleuch!

But of all the wights in poor Scotland,

That ever drew bow or Border brand,
