'What needs you care for your bonny hyn?
For it you need na care;
Take you the best, gi me the warst,
Since plenty is to spare.'

'I care na for your hyns, my lord,
I care na for your fee;
But O and O for my bonny hyn,
Beneath the hollin tree!'

Your sister fair to see,
Ye'll think na mair o your bonny hyn
Beneath the hollin tree.'
