[Verse 1]
I Hae a wife of my ain
I'll partake wi’ naebody;
I'll take Cuckold frae nane
I'll gie Cuckold to naebody
[Verse 2]
I hae a penny to spend
There-thanks to naebody!
I hae naething to lend
I’ll borrow frae naebody
[Verse 3]
I am naebody's lord
I'll be slave to naebody;
I hae a gude braid sword
I'll tak dunts frae naebody
[Verse 4]
I'll be merry and free
I'll be sad for naebody;
Naebody cares for me
I care for naebody
I Hae a wife of my ain
I'll partake wi’ naebody;
I'll take Cuckold frae nane
I'll gie Cuckold to naebody
[Verse 2]
I hae a penny to spend
There-thanks to naebody!
I hae naething to lend
I’ll borrow frae naebody
[Verse 3]
I am naebody's lord
I'll be slave to naebody;
I hae a gude braid sword
I'll tak dunts frae naebody
[Verse 4]
I'll be merry and free
I'll be sad for naebody;
Naebody cares for me
I care for naebody
