The Souters of Selkirk
By AnonymousU
And down wi’ the Earl of Home;
And up wi’ a’ the braw lads,
That sew the single-soled shoon.
And fye upon yellow and green,
But up wi’ the true blue and scarlet,
And up wi’ the single-soled sheen.
For they are baith trusty and leal;
And up wi’ the Men o’ the Forest,
And down wi’ the Merse to the deil.
