And Johnie has bryttled the deer sae weel

That he’s had out her liver and lungs,

And wi these he has feasted his bludey hounds

As if they had been erl’s sons.

They eat sae much o the vennison,

And drank sae much o the blude,

That Johnie and a’ his bludey hounds

Fell asleep as they had been dead.
