he hums and he hankers, he frets and he cankers,

i never can please him do a' that i can;

he's peevish an' jealous o' a' the young fellows,—

he's peevish an' jealous o' a' the young fellows,

o, dool on the day i met wi' an auld man.

my auld auntie katie upon me taks pity,

i'll do my endeavour to follow her plan;

i'll cross him an' wrack him, until i heartbreak him

and then his auld brass will buy me a new pan,
