Traditional
Come sit down, my cronie, and gie me your crack
Let the win tak the cares o this life on its back
Our hearts to despondency we ne'er will submit,
We've aye been providit for an sae will we yet.

And sae will we yet, and sae will we yet
For we've aye been providit for, and sae will we yet

Let's call for a tankard o nappy brown ale
It will comfort our hearts and enliven our tale;
We'll aye be the merrier the longer we sit,
We've drank wi ither mony a time an sae will we yet.

And sae will we yet, and sae will we yet
We've drank wi ither mony a time an sae will we yet.

So rax me my mill an my nose I will prime
Let mirth and sweet innocence employ aa our time
Nae quarr'lin nor fightin we here will admit,
We've parted aye in unity and sae will we yet.

And sae will we yet, and sae will we yet
We've parted aye in unity and sae will we yet.

Let the glass keep its course an gae merrily roun
The sun has to rise tho the moon soud gae doun
Till the house be rinnin roun about, it's time eneugh tae flit,
When we fell we aye got up again an sae will we yet.

And sae will we yet, and sae will we yet
When we fell we aye got up again an sae will we yet.
