Note that the words are by Harold Boulton, the tune "adapted" from the old air "Taymouth" by Malcolm Lawson. The tune has an A and a B part, covering what JiB makes 2 stanzas. His 6 is not quite as it is in the book, which has:
"Though some to gay touns in the Lawlands will roam,
And some will gang sodgerin' far from their home,"
which I must say doesn't sound as ethnic as John's words [pronunciation-wise, a Scot will naturally say "hame"].
