| Chorus.—Robin shure in hairst, | |
| I shure wi’ him. | |
| Fient a heuk had I, | |
| Yet I stack by him. | |

| To warp a wab o’ plaiden, | |
| At his daddie’s yett, | |
| Wha met me but Robin: | |
| Robin shure, &c. | |

| Was na Robin bauld, | 10 |
| Tho’ I was a cotter, | |
| Play’d me sic a trick, | |
| An’ me the El’er’s dochter! | |

| |
| Robin promis’d me | 15 |
| A’ my winter vittle; | |
| Fient haet he had but three | |
| Guse-feathers and a whittle! | |
| Robin shure, &c. | |
