As you probably have now gathered, the song is a brief life story of a grey mare born and raised in Hawick and tells of the various town characters that have turned up. The latter verses are a sort of last will and testament.

"Sei how they're guiden' mei!" - translates to "See how they are treating/looking after me!"
