Song

  1. O Rattlin, roarin Willie,
    O he held to the fair,
    An’ for to sell his fiddle
    And buy some other ware;
    But parting wi’ his fiddle,
    The saut tear blin’t his e’e;
    And Rattlin, roarin Willie
    Ye’re welcome hame to me.

  2. 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 hae had.

  3. As I cam by Crochallan
    I cannily keekit ben,
    Rattlin, roarin Willie
    Was sitting at yon boord-en’,
    Sitting at yon boord-en’,
    And amang guid companie;
    Rattlin, roarin Willie,
    Ye're welcome hame to me.
