lyrics

It was at a wedding near Tranent
Where scores an' scores of fun were bent
Tae ride the broose wi' full intent
⁠Was either nine or ten, jo

Aff they a’ went galloping, galloping
⁠Legs an' airms walloping, walloping
⁠Deil tak the hindmost, quo' Duncan M'Callpin
⁠Laird o' Jelly Ben, jo

Noo Will the weaver rode sae kittle
Ye'd thocht he was a flying shuttle
His doup it dabbit like a bittle
⁠But wafted till the end, jo

The tailor had an awkward beast
It funket first an' syne did reest
Then threw poor snipe five ell at least
⁠Like auld breeks, o'er the mane, jo

The souter he was fidgin' fain
An' stuck like rosin tae the mane
To smash like auld boots in a drain
⁠He nearly reach'd his end, jo

The blacksmith's beast was last of a'
His sides like bellows they did blaw
Till him an' it got sic a fa'
⁠An' bruises nine or ten, jo

Noo Duncan's mare she flew like drift
An' aye sae fast her feet did lift
Tween ilka step she gi'ed a rift
⁠Oot frae her hinder end, jo

Noo Duncan's mare did bang them a'
Tae rin wi' him they manna fa'
Then up his grey mare she did draw
⁠The broose it was his end, jo
