The Earl of Wigton had three daughters,

Oh and a waly, but they were unco bonnie!

The eldest of them had the far brawest house,

But she’s fallen in love with her footman-laddie.

As she was a walking doun by yon river-side,

Oh and a wally, but she was unco bonnie!

There she espied her own footman,

With ribbons hanging over his shoulders sae bonnie.
