My mither men't my auld breeks and wow but they were duddy o And sent me tae get shod the meer at Robin Tamson's smiddy o The smiddy stans ayout the burn a wee bit frae the clachan o I never yet gaed by the door but fat I fell a lachin o Auld Robin was a wealthy carl an' had a bonnie dochter o He widnae lat her tak' a man tho' mony ane had socht her o But fat think ye o my exploit the time the mare was shooin' o? I went in tae Robin's pet and briskly fell a wooin' o Chorus: Fal a doo a di do Fal de doo a daddy o Fal de doo a di do Auld Robin Tamson's smiddy o And aye she e'ed my auld breeks the time that we were crackin' o Says aye my lass ne'er mind the clouts, there's new anes for the makin' o Gin ye'll consent tae come wi' me an' lea the carl yer faither o Ye'll get my breeks tae keep in trim, mysel' and a' thegither o Chorus Indeed quo she your offers fair, I really think I'll tak' it o Gang ye awa' get oot the mare, we'll baith sit on the back o't o For gin I wait my faither's time, I'll wait till I be fifty o But I will marry in my prime and mak' a wife sae thrifty o Noo Robin wis an angry carl at tinin o his dochter o Through a' the kintrae side he ran an' far and near he sought her o Bit fin he cam' to oor fireside and fan us baith thegither o Quo I guid man I've ta'en yer bairn an' ye can tak my mither o Chorus Auld Robin girned and scrathed his pow, Guid sooth quo he ye're merry o But I'll e'en tak ye at yer word, and end this hurry burry o So Robin an' our auld guid wife agreed tae keep thegither o So I hae Robin Tamson's pet and Rob has ta'en my mither o Chorus
