[Verse 1]
O come Ga´ ye tramps and Amhawker-Clads an´ GgaitheAmrers o´ bGla´
That Gtramp the country Emroun´ and Groun´, come listen Amone and Ema´
I´ll Gtell tae ye a Emrovin´ Gtale, o´ Emsights that AmI hae sEmeen
Far Gup into the Amsnowy Cnorth, or Gsooth by CGretna GGreen.
[Verse 2]
I´ve seGen the high Ben AmNevCis a-Gtowerin´ Amtae the Gmoon
I´ve Gbeen roun´ by Crieff an´ EmCallandGer an roun´ by AmBonny EmDoon
I´ve Gseen Loch Ness's Emsilvery Gtide an´ Emplaces AmI'll tae Emken
Far Gup into the Amstormy Cnorth lies GUrquart´s Cfairy Gglen
[Verse 3]
OftGtimes I laugh Amtae mysCel´ as I Gwander Amalang the Groad
My Gtoerags round my Emblistered Gfeet, my face as Ambroun´s a Emtoad
Wi´ Glumps o´cheese and Emtattie-Gscones or Embreid an´ Ambraxie Emham
Nae Gthinking whar´ I´m Amcomin´ Cfrae nor Gthinkin´ Cwhar I´m Ggang.
[Verse 4]
I've Gdone my share of Amhumpin' Cwi' the Gdockers Amon the GClyde
I've Ghelped the Buckie Emtrawlers Ghawl the herrin' Amo'er the Emside
I've Ghelped to build the Emmighty Gbridge that Emspans the AmFirth o' EmForth
And wi' Gmony Angus Amfarmer's Crig I've Gplowed the Cbonny Gearth
[Verse 5]
I´m hapGpy in the Amsummer-Ctime beGneath the Amdark blue Gsky
Nae Gthinkin´ in the Emmornin´ Gwhere at nicht i´m Amgang to Emlie
In Gbarn or byre or EmanywGhere dossing Emout amAmong the Emhay
And Gif the weather Amtreats me Cright, I´m  Ghappy Cevery Gday.
[Verse 6]
Loch GKatrine and AmLoch LoCmond, they´ve Goft been Amseen by Gme
The DGee, the Don, the EmDevrGon, that a´ flows Amtae the Emsea
DunrGobin Castle, Emby the Gway, I Emnearly Amhad forEmgot
And the Greckless stanes oAm´cairn that Cmairks the Ghoose o´ CJohn o´ GGroat.
[Verse 7]
I´ve Gbeen by bonny AmGalloCwa´, an´ Goften Amroun´ StranGraer
My Gbusiness leads me EmanywGhere, I travel Amnear an´ Emfar
I´ve Ggot that rovin´ EmnotGion I Emwouldna Amlike tae Emloss
For GIt´s my daily Amfare an´ as Cmuch GI will Cpay my Gdoss.
[Verse 8]
I Gthink I´ll gang tae AmPaddy´s CLan´, I´m Gmakin´ Amup my Gmind
For SGcotland´s greatly Emaltered Gnoo, I canna Amraise the Emwind
But GI will trust in EmProviGdence, and EmProviAmdence be Emtrue
I´ll Gsing ye´a song o´ AmErin´s CIsle when GI come Cback to Gyou.
