[Verse]
              G       D      Em
First whan we cam tae London toon
   D                  A
We dream'd o' gowd in gowpins here
    Em            D      Em
And rantin'ly ran up and doon
          G           D     Em
In risin' stocks, tae buy a share

          G          D      Em
We daftly thocht tae row in routh
    D               A
And for our daffin' paid right dear
    Em                 D        Em
The lave maun fare the waur, in truth
        G    D      Em

[Verse]
            G        D      Em

    D               A
And dainty stocks began tae fa'
   Em                D     Em
We hang oor lugs and wi' a gloom
              G        D       Em
Girn at stock-jobbin', ane and a'

           G        D         Em
If ye gang near the South Sea Hoose
    D                A
The whillywha's will grip yer gear
     Em               D        Em
Syne a' the lave maun fare the waur
        G    D      Em
