‘It’s I, Jamie Telfer o the Fair Dodhead,
And a harried man I think I be;
There’s naething left at the Fair Dodhead
But a waefu wife and bairnies three.’

‘Gae seek your succour at Branksome Ha,
For succour ye’se get nane frae me;
Gae seek your succour where ye paid blackmail,
For, man, ye neer paid money to me.’
