Looks like you've got most of it as much as makes any difference. Last three verses:

He's guid tae her a braw gowd ring
Made o' an auld brass pat
It's we can wed wi' sich a thing
The better matched for that

He's gied tae her a napkin fine
Made o' an auld horse brat
I've lacked a clout since auld lang syne
I'll dicht ma face wi' that

When they twa lovers had met thegither
A-kissing to tak' their fill
The slavers that hung atween their twa gabs
Wad hae tether'd a ten year auld bull
