I hope yer nae down in yer bottle, Ah hope yer nae doon in yer boatlle
trying to wash away yer sins, yer sins, tryin tee wahsh awah year sins
trying to wash away yer sins.

Nae, nae good fellow, Naw,naw guid fella
I’m not in the bottle a ‘tall Ahm no,in the boattle atah
I’m here hav’en a good smoke Ahm hierr havin a braw smoke
restin’ ‘gainst this sturdy rock wall,
restin’ ‘gainst this wall.

Tam, Tam, good fellow,
have ye seen a lassie so fine,
if ‘en ye do keep yer hands off ’er if ye de, keep yer hawnds affer
cause that lassie so pretty is mine, is mine
cause that lassie so pretty is mine,.
etc
Ah good fellow I seen ‘er
Hair like gold and skin brightly tan,
but make no claims good fellow,mack
for I saw nae gold on her hand, her hand,
For I saw nae gold on her hand.
