STRAMPIN' the bent, like the Angel o' Daith,
The mowdie-man staves by;
Alang his pad the mowdie-worps
Like sma' Assyrians lie.
And where the Angel o' Daith has been
Yirked oot o' their yirdy hames,
Lie Sennacherib's blasted hosts
Wi' guts dung oot o' wames.
Sma' black tramorts wi' gruntles grey,
Sma' weak weemin's hands,
Sma' bead-een that wid touch ilk hert
Binnae the mowdie-man's.
