THIS IS NO MA AIN HOOSE

O this is no ma ain hoose,
Ma ain hoose, ma ain hoose;
O this is no ma ain hoose,
I ken by the biggin o't;

For breid and cheese are my door cheeks,
Are my door cheeks, are my door cheeks;
For breid and cheese are my door cheeks,
And pancakes the riggin o't.

O this is no ma ain wean,
Ma ain wean, ma ain wean;
O this is no ma ain wean,
I ken by the greetie o't.

I'll tak the curchie aff ma heid,
Aff ma heid, aff ma heid;
I'll tak the curchie aff ma heid;
And row't aboot the feetie o't.
