THOMSON. 



Who sprang to lift me when I fell, 

 And heaved my Sheltie up as well? 

 That Devon common drain could tell 



Jack Thomson. 



Who hunts upon the edge of frost 

 Rather than let a day be lost ? 

 Ae man, but in himself a host 



Jack Thomson. 



Who rides the country up and down, 

 With smile like morn for peer and clown ? 

 Most genial lad beneath the crown 



Jack Thomson. 



Who makes the shire one family 

 A freen to all in each degree 

 Gars Whig and Tory brithers be ? 



Jack Thomson. 



"John Thomson's bairns" means easy free 

 Auld Fife phrase for guid company 

 Our common father yet is he 



John Thomson.
