Rattlin Roarin Willie
– Robert Burns 1787
O rattlin, roarin Willie, O, he held tae the fair,
An for to sell his fiddle an buy some other ware
But parting wi his fiddle, the saut tear blint his ee
And rattlin, roarin, Willie, Yere welcome hame to me
O, Willie, come sell your fiddle, come, sell your fiddle sae fine
O Willie come sell your fiddle, and buy a pint o wine
If I should sell my fiddle, the world would think I was mad
For many a rantin day my fiddle and I hae had
As I cam by Crochallan, I cannily keekit ben
Rattlin, roarin Willie was sitting at yon board en
Siting at yon board en and amang guid company
Rattlin, roarin, Willie, yere welcome hame to me
