    Rattlin' Roarin' Willie

    O rattlin' roarin ' Willie
    Oh he held to the fair
    An' for to sell his fiddle
    An' buy some other ware
    But partin' wi' his fiddle
    The saut tear blint his eye
    And rattlin' roarin' Willie
    Ye're welcome hame to me!

    O Willie, come sell your fiddle
    O sell your fiddle sae fine
    O Willie, come sell your fiddle
    And buy a pint o' wine!
    If I should sell my fiddle
    The warl' would think I was mad
    For mony a rantin' day
    My fiddle and I ha'e had.

    As I cam' by Chrochallan
    I cannily keekit ben
    Rattlin' roarin' Willie
    Was sitting at yon board en'
    Sitting at yone board en'
    And amang guid companie
    Rattlin' roarin' Willie
    Ye're welcome hame to me!
