With a hey lillelu and a how lo lan;
And I’ll give to thee my scarlet cloak,
And the birk and the broom blooms bonnie.
“Give me your auld pike-staff, and hat,
With a hey lillelu and a how lo lan;
And ye sall be right weel paid for that,
And the birk and the broom blooms bonnie.”
The auld beggar-man cast off his coat,
With a hey lillelu and a how lo lan,
