Tammy Tod ahin the dyke
Did ye steal Dan Wabster's bike?
Faither says that we maun watch,
Ye, ye tarry fingered vratch.

In the hen hoose on the lea,
Are twa fat hens, far eence wis three.
Wi a chukken in yer mou,
I see ye creepin ben the dyew.

I ken ye canna help bit reive,
Bit it's agin man's law tae thieve
Tammy Tod, foo wad ye wyle
The days awa stapt in the jyle?
