And there will be trusty Kirrochtriej
Whase honour is ever his sa' :
If the virtues were packed in a parcel.
His worth might be sample for a'.
And can we forget the auld Major,
Wha'll ne'er be forgot in the Greys ?
Our flattery we'll keep for some other
Him only it's justice to praise.
And there will be maiden Kilkerran,
And also Barskimming's gude wight
And there will be roaring Birtwhistle,
Wha luckily roars in the right.
And there, frae the Niddisdale border.
We'll mingle the Maxwells in droves,
Teuch Jockie, stanch Geordie, and Willie,
That granes for the fishes and loaves.
And there will be Logan M'D 1 ;
Sculduddery and he will be there
And also the Scott o' Galloway,
Sodgering, gunpowder Blair,
; ; ;
;
Then hey I the chaste interest o' Broughton,
And hey for the blessings 'twill bring I
It may send Balmaghie to the Commons
In Sodom 'twould make him a king.
And hey !
for the sanctified M— r—y,
Our land wha wi' chapels has stored
He foundered his horse among harlots.
But gied the auld mare to the Lord.
