“Win
Ower hill an brae
He comes tae play,
The rantin roarin Win;
He cowps the trees
An lachs tae hear the din,
He sweels the spate
The deil's ain gate
Oot ower the feckless banks.
An Tilly's stooks
Furl roon like deuks
Wi panic i the ranks!
Wi jaggit shears
The duds he tears
Aff lines she filled sae croose,
An reek an flaws
Doon lums he ca's
A' steerin throwe the hoose.
Ower yard an closs.
A sair-like loss
He spreads o hay an strae;
The hens he blaws
Like feather ba's
Tae gie his humour play.
An neist he's aff
Tae tig an daff
Wi' quinies fae the skweel;
Like sails o ships
He fulls their slips -
Syne dooks them i the peel!
Ower hill an brae
He comes tae play,
The rantin roarin Win;
An grannies tell
His pooers sae fell,
An dra their airmchairs in.”
