o weary fa' the waukrife cock,

and the fourty his crawin!

he wauken'd the auld wife frae her sleep,

a wee blink or the dawin.

an angry wife i wat she raise,

and o'er the bed she brocht her;

and wi' a ikle hazel rung

she de her a weel-pay'd dochter.

o fare thee weel, boniess,

o fare thee well, hinnie!

thou art a gay an' a bonniess,

but thou has a waukrife nnie.
