W:Oh, rattlin', roarin' Willie, oh, he held tae the fair,
W:All for to sell his fiddle, an' buy some other ware,
W:But parting wi' his fiddle, the saut tear blint his e'e
W:Oh, rattlin', roarin' Willie, ye're welcome hame tae me.
W:
W:Oh, Willie, come sell your fiddle, come sell your fiddle sae fine!
W:Oh, Willie, come sell your fiddle, and buy a pint o' wine!
W:If I should sell my fiddle, the world would think I was mad,
W:For many a rantin' day my fiddle an' I hae had.
W:
W:As I cam' by Crochallan, I cannily keekit ben.
W:Oh, rattlin', roaring' Willie was sittin' at yon boord-en'.
W:Sittin' at yon boord-en', and amang guid company.
W:Oh, rattlin', roarin' Willie, ye're welcome hame tae me.
