'O wha's aught a' yon flock o sheep,
An wha's aught a' yon flock o kye?
An wha's aught a' yon pretty castles,
That you sae often do pass bye?'

'They're a' Lord Beekin's sheep,
They're a' Lord Beekin's kye;
They're a' Lord Beekin's castles,
That you sae often do pass bye.'

He's tane [the] table wi his feet,
Made cups an candlesticks to flee:
'I'll lay my life 't is Susy Pie,
Come owr the seas to marry me.'
