O' Rabbie that e'er helped oor tongue flow like a well that's newly sprung that wae true passion an' Usquabae recites tha spirits O' Scotland's way Words that put merit in oor speech Words, tha English scauld against an' preach.
Och! If it wasney fa oor ways thats wannered doun tae oor days we couldney say worth a rot what makes a Man, true a Scot Let England wae her tonsils strained keep what fa them tis better Named.
Nae Scot wants tae pass his days with words that doun in Cambridge lays far better tis oor tongue in grace Than a' O' England's frills an lace Nae better spoken word there is than what a Scot calls truly His.
