I sought her sair upo' the morn,
And down aneath a buss o' thorn
I got my Ewie's crookit horn,

As this sin' ever I was born,
My Ewie, wi' the crookit horn,
Silly Ewie, stown awa';
My Ewie wi' the crookit horn, &c.

As Ewies do when they grow auld,

Sae sair a heart to nane o's a':
For a' the claith that we hae worn,
Frae her and her's sae aften shorn,
