"The third company, that passes by,

"Than I'll be ane o' thae.

"First let pass the black, Janet,

"And syne let pass the brown;

"But grip ye to the milk-white steed,

"And pu' the rider down.

"For I ride on the milk-white steed,

"And ay nearest the town;

"Because I was a christened knight,

"They gave me that renown.
