I'll stap, right glad to see ye fight, 



If only fae ye had to smite ; 



Sae wark awa,' wi' a' your might, 



And weel prepare 

 Tae meet ilk bug that comes in sight, 



Wi' ye tae war. 



Stap ! whaur ye gau'n new sae fast ? 

 Ye dinna think, ye little beast, 

 Alane tae row a ba' sae vast 



As that ye've made ! 

 Haud ! there's anither, come at last, 



Tae gie his aid. 



Down wi' your butt, and tak your head, 

 Ye dousie beast ! for much I dread 

 Ye'll brak your neck, or be mislead 



Some ither road — 

 An' if ye fa' — alake ! ye're dead 



Beneath your load. 



Get aff, I say, ye lazy bug ! 



Dinna ye see your brither tug. 



And sweat, and push, while ye sae snug 



Ride like a skellum ! 

 Jimp down, I say, ye misleared hog ! 



And tak the helm. 



Hae ye nae heart to help your mate, 

 And tak your share, and push the weight? 

 Then, tak that blow upo' your pate — 



'Twill gar ye feel. 

 And help, I ken, your brither's fate, 



Sae true and leal.
