Doon yonder den lives a plooboy lad
An' someday soon he'll be my ain
An' sing laddie aye an' sing laddie oh
The plooboy laddies are a' the go
Doon yonder den I could hae gotten a miller
But a' his stoor it widda garr'd me ill
Doon yonder den I could hae gotten a merchant
But a' his gear it wasna worth a groat
I see him comin' down frae yonder toon
Wi' a' his ribbons rollin' round and round
