Siccin a sotter was a' body in Five mile awa ye could hear tha din E'en tha verra cou had tae grin At tha muckin' o' Geordie's byre Noo tha bobby cam doon tae quell doon the soun The craiter gat lost whar the rucks hae thair foun He fell intae tha midden and was liken tae droon At tha muckin' o' Geordie's byre Tha weicht o' him syne sent tha barra in bits Tha whirl cairried on an tha aul wife it hits Losh ye shoud hae seen hou she did tha splits At tha muckin' o' Geordie's byre Siccin a sotter was a' body in Five mile awa ye could hear tha din E'en tha verra cou had tae grin At tha muckin' o' Geordie's byre Tha whisky gaed roon Tammy flee' in tha doo And aye as they drank tha mair thay gat fou Tha anerly anes souber tha cauf an tha cou At tha muckin' o' Geordie's byre Tammy rowt oot ring tha bell fer mair Syne tuggit tha cou's tail an poud oot tha haer.
