But and the lads of Leverhay,

That drove the Crichtons' gear away.

It is the lads of Lethenha',

The greatest rogues amang them a':

But and the lads of Stefenbiggin,

They broke the house in at the rigging.

The lads of Fingland, and Hellbeck-hill,

They were never for good, but aye for ill;

'Twixt the Staywood-bush and Langside-hill,

They stealed the broked cow and the branded bull.
