To Andrew the auld Scottish saint,

When he to the Culdees the truth did explain

They a' rubb'd their beard, an' looket right fain

An' vow'd that his council they'd ever retain,

Sae here's to the memory o' Andrew,

To Andrew the auld Scottish saint.

Altho' at fam'd Patres[6] he closed his e'e,

Yet Regulus, the monk, brought him far oure the sea,

In St. Andrew's he sleeps, an' there let him be.

Sae here's to the memory o' Andrew,
