1.

There was a wee cooper who lived in Fife,
 Nickity, nackity, noo, noo, noo
And he has gotten a gentle wife,
 Hey Willie Wallacky, how John Dougall,
 Alane, quo Rushety, roue, roue, roue

2.

She wadna bake, nor she wadna brew,
For the spoiling o her comely hue.

3.

She wadna card, nor she wadna spin,
For the shaming o her gentle kin.

4.

She wadna wash, nor she wadna wring,
For the spoiling o her gouden ring.
