For ever in the town, O!
The town, O! the town, O!
The lively, pleasant town, O!
There’s healthy strife and active life,
There’s spirit in the town, O!
Though whiles we dream and whiles we scheme
How we will yet sit down, O!
And end our days in rural braes;
We’ll never leave the town, O!
The town, O! the town, O!
