The Sodjer

Heatherin eerin orin aye,
The drums are dirlin lood ootbye;
Hiddledum diddledum deitherin deist,
The pipes are willin the lads tae list.

Too roo rantin ree
Hine awa an ower the sea;
Hudderin heiderin hodderin hey
Cannon rick is cauld an grey.

Eenertie feenertie fichertie feg
The sodjer’s gotten a widden leg;
Pirlie wirlie winkie woan,
Fars the cheer in winnin yon?
