I coft a stane o' haslock woo,
  To mak a wab to Johnie o't;
For Johnie is my onlie jo,
  I lo'e him best of onie yet. -

           Chorus:
  The cardin o't, the spinnin o't,
    The warpin o't, the winnin o't;
  When ilka ell cost me a groat,
    The taylor staw the lynin o't. -

For though his locks be lyart grey,
  And though his brow be beld aboon,
Yet I hae seen him on a day
  The pride of a' the parishon. -
     The cardin o't, the spinnin o't...
