 I veI've [sic] nothing but my penny fee,
 * to keep myself and a' that,

To claith myself and bairns three,
 * to pay the tax and a' that,

And a' that and a' that.
 * and drink and snuff and a' that

Yet cheerly I'll pay my mite,
 * for country king and a' that.

We'll pay our taxes cheerfully,
 * they llthey'll [sic] maybe wear awa, yet.

When fashions and ambitions men,
 * are fairly rul'd by law yet.

And a' that and a' that,
 * and thrice as meikle's a' that.

Shall we be rul'd by Buonapart?
 * old Scotland never saw that.

In former days our Scottish lads,
 * their swords did boldly draw man

They fought the Romans and the Danes
 * and drave them baith awa man.
