As I view our Scots lads* in their kilts and cockades,
A' blooming and fresh as a rose, man;
1 think wi* myself O. the meal and the ale,
And the fruits of our Scottish kail brose, man.
Then hey for the cogie &c.
When our brave highland blades, wi* their claymores and plaids,
In the field, drive, like sheep, a' our foes, man;
Their courage and pow'r, spring frae this, to be sure,
They're the noble effects of the brose, man.
Then hey for the cogie fee.
But your spindle shank'd sparks, wha but ill set their sarks,
And your pale visag'd milksops, and beaus, man,
I think when I see them, 'twere kindness to gi'e them,
A cogie of ale and of brose, man.
Then hey for the cogie &c.
