JOCKIE TAM AN' JOCKIE TILL

1.
Jockie Tam an' Jockie Till
Went a-walkin' owre the hill;
There they fund a bonnie yowe,
Siller ribbons on her pow;
"Guid e'en tae ye, bonnie men!
Seek ye but an' seek ye ben;
I hae tint ma lammie fine,
She's no here sin' denner-time."
"We hae seen her, in the fog,
Chaset by a muckle dog;
She is fa'n intae a moss,
Haste ye, yowie, or she'll be lost."

2.
Jock Tam an' Jock Wull
They went walkin' owre the hill;
There they fand a bonnie coo,
Siller ribbons on its mou;
"Guid day, ma braw gentlemen!
Seek ye but, or seek ye ben?
I hae lost ma cauf sae fine,
He's no been here since denner-time."
"We hae seen him in the girse,
He's fa'n doon upon his erse,
There he lies in a great moss,
Haste ye, crummy, or he'll be lost."
