Rattlin’, Roarin’ Willie O rattlin’, roarin’ Willie, O, he held to the fair, An’ for to sell his fiddle, An’ buy some other ware; But parting wi’ his fiddle, The saut tear blin’t his ee; And rattlin’, roarin’ Willie, Ye’re welcome hame to me! O Willie, come sell your fiddle, O sell your fiddle sae fine; O Willie, come sell your fiddle, And buy a pint o’ wine! If I should sell my fiddle, The warl’ would think I was mad; For mony a rantin’ day My fiddle and I hae had. As I cam by Crochallan, I cannily keekit ben- Rattlin’, roarin’ Willie Was sitting at you board en’; Sitting at yon board en’, And amang guid companie; Rattlin’, roarin’ Willie, Ye’re welcome hame to me! 1787 |
