O, Willie brew'd a peck o' maut,
And Rob and Allan cam to see ;
Three blyther hearts that lee-lang night
Ye wadna found in Christendie.
Chorus. We are na foti, we^re nae that fott,
But just a drappie in our ee ;
The cock may craw, the day may daw,
And ay we'll taste the barley bree.
Here are we met three merry boys,
Three merry boys I trow are we ;
And monie a night we've merry been,
And monie mae we hope to be !
