Sorry, should have added the lyric you seek. From the Montgomeries - various editions. It is a small gem, a favourite of mine. The Montgomeries give no tune, I have sung it to a trimmed version of The Roke and the Wee Pickle Tow.
There was a piper had a coo, An he'd nae hey tae gie her. He took his pipes, an played a tune, Consider, auld coo, consider.
The coo considered vera weel, Fir she gied the piper a penny, That he micht play the tune again O' Corn Rigs are Bonny.
