He's bought a bridle and a pair of new spurs,

And pack'd them up in his breek thie.

Then Dickie's come on to Pudding-burn house,

E'en as fast as he might drie;

Then Dickie's come on to Pudding-burn,

Where there were thirty Armstrangs and three.

"O what's this come o' me now?" quo' Dickie;

"What mickle wae is this?" quo' he;

"For here is but ae innocent fule,

And there are thirty Armstrangs and three!"
