| GAT ye me, O gat ye me, | |
| O gat ye me wi’ naething? | |
| Rock an reel, and spinning wheel, | |
| A mickle quarter basin: | |
| Bye attour my Gutcher has | 5 |
| A heich house and a laich ane, | |
| A’ forbye my bonie sel, | |
| The toss o’ Ecclefechan. | |
| |
| O haud your tongue now, Lucky Lang, | |
| O haud your tongue and jauner | 10 |
| I held the gate till you I met, | |
| Syne I began to wander: | |
| I tint my whistle and my sang, | |
| I tint my peace and pleasure; | |
| But your green graff, now Lucky Lang, | 15 |
| Wad airt me to my treasure. | |
