The sheep’s in the meadow and the kye’s in the corn
Thou’s ower lang in thy bed, bonny at morn
Canny at neet, Bonny at morn
Tha’s ower lang in thy bed, bonny at morn
The bird’s in the nest and the trout’s in the burn
Thou hinders thy mother in many a turn
We’re all laid idle wi keeping the bairn
The lad winnot work and the lass winnot learn
