‘Licht doun, licht doun, my foremaist man,

Licht doun and let her on,

For monie a time she cawit her faither’s kye,

But she’ll neir caw them again.

‘For I am the laird o Ochiltree Wawis,

I hae threttie pleuchs and thrie,

And I hae tane awa the bonniest lass

That is in a’ the north countrie.’
