Or eir[19] they se Sir Patrick Spens,

Cum sailing to the land.

O lang, lang may the ladies stand,

Wi thair gold kems[20] in their hair,

Waiting for thair ain deir lords,

For they’ll se thame na mair.

Haf owre[21], haf owre to Aberdour,

It’s fiftie fadom[22] deip,

And thair lies guid Sir Patrick Spens,

Wi the Scots lords at his feit.[23]
