That is the thing you ne'er shall see;
For an auld man shall never daunton me.
For a' his meal and a' his maut, malt
For a' his fresh beef and his saut, salt
For a' his gold and white monie,
An auld man shall never daunton me.
His gear may buy him kye and yowes, wealth, cows, ewes
His gear may buy him glens and knowes; knolls
But me he shall not buy nor fee, hire
For an auld man shall never daunton me.
