| lyric | The Piper cam' to oor town,
And he played bonnielie.
1. He played a spring the Laird to please,
A spring brent new frae yont the seas;
And than he gi’ed his bags a squeeze,
And played anither key.
And wasna he a rogie,
A rogie, a rogie;
And wanna he a rogie,
The Piper o’ Dundee.
2. He played ’The Welcome owre the Main’
And ’Ye’se be Fon and I’se be Fain’
And ’Auld Stuart’s Back Again’
Wi’ muckle mirth and glee.
3. He played ’The Kird’, he played ’T he Quier’,
’The Mullin Dhu’ and ’Chevalier’
And ’Lang awa’ but welcome here’,
Sae sweet, sae bonnielie.
4. It’s some gat swords and some gat nane,
And some were dancin’ mad their lane,
And money a vow 0’ weir was ta’en,
That night at Amulrie.

And mony a vow o’ weir was ta’en,
