 * Syne forth they got a’ wi’ a loup,

O'er creels and a’ did coup, The Piper aid, wi’ them d—l coup,
 * he d made a hungry fea o’t.
 * O the bonny, &c.


 * Syne off they got a’ wi’ a fling,

Each las until her lad did hing And a’ cry’d for a diff’rent pring.
 * the bride e ought the brea-knot.
 * O the bonny, &c.


 * Fan they ty’d up the marriage band,

At the bridegroom’s they nei did land Forth came auld Madge wi’ her pilt mu,
 * and bread and cheee a fi o’t.
 * O the bonny, &c.


 * She took a quarter and a third,

On the bride’s head e gart a’gird. Till arle flew athort the eard,
 * and parted round the re o’t
 * O the bonny, &c.


 * The las that by the hand he took,

Twice, thrice, they led her round the crook Some aid, good-wife, well mate ye brook
 * and ome great count they ca not.
 * O the bonny, &c.


 * All ran to killens and barns in banks,

Some at on deals, and ome on planks The Piper lad ood on his anks;
 * and dirled up the brea-knot.
 * O the bonny, &c.
