o willie brew'd a peck o' maut,

and rob and allen cam to see;

three blyther hearts, that lee-lang night,

chorus.—we are na fou, we're nae that fou,

but just a drappie in our ee;

the cock may craw, the day may daw

and aye we'll taste the barley bree.

here are we met, three merry boys,

three merry boys i trow are we;

and mony a night we've merry been,

and mony mae we hope to be!

we are na fou, &c.

it is the moon, i ken her horn,

that's blinkin' in the lift sae hie;

she shines sae bright to wyle us hame,

but, by my sooth, she'll wait a wee!

we are na fou, &c.

wha first shall rise to gang awa,

a cuckold, coward loun is he!

wha first beside his chair shall fa',

he is the king amang us three.

we are na fou, &c.
