At the Choler-ford they a’light down,

And there, wi the help o the light o the moon,

A tree they cut, wi fifteen naggs upo ilk side,

To climb up the wa o Newcastle town.

But when they cam to Newcastle town,

And were alighted at the wa,

They fand their tree three ells oer laigh,

They fand their stick baith short and sma.
