(I wot and little gude worth was he)

"Thirty men is few anew,

And a' to ride in our cumpanie."

There was horsing, horsing in haste,

And there was marching on the lee;

Until they cam to Murraywhate,

And they lighted there right speedilie.

"A smith! a smith!" Dickie he cries,

"A smith, a smith, right speedilie,

To turn back the caukers of our horses' shoon!
