"Willie Brewed A Peck O' Maut"

Oh, Willie brewed a peck o' maut and Rab and Allen came to prie
Three blyther lads that lee-lang nicht ya wadna found in Christendie

For we are no fou' we're nae that fou' but just a drappie in oor e'e
The cock may craw and the day may daw but aye we'll taste the barleybree

Here are we met three merry boys, three merry boys I trow are we
And many's the nicht we've merry been and many's the mae we hope to be

For we are no fou' we're nae that fou' but just a drappie in oor e'e
The cock may craw and the day may daw but aye we'll taste the barleybree

It is the moon I ken her horn that's blinkin' in the lift sae hie
She shines sae bright to wyle us hame but by ma sooth she'll wait a wee

For we are no fou' we're nae that fou' but just a drappie in oor e'e
The cock may craw and the day may daw but aye we'll taste the barleybree

Wha first shall rise to gang awa' a cuckold coward loun is he
Wha first beside his chair shall fa' he is the king amang us three

For we are no fou' we're nae that fou' but just a drappie in oor e'e
The cock may craw and the day may daw but aye we'll taste the barleybree
