A'the toun is to the doun
Puin' o' the blaeberrie.
Ab's gane, Rab's gane,
Aggie's gane, Maggie's gane,
A' the toun is to the doun,
An's left the house to wae and me.

Heigho the blaeberrie!

Puin' o' the blaeberrie!

Sodger Tam, he cam an' cam,
Puin' o' the blaeberrie;
Still I went, an' still I bent,
Puin' o' the blaeberrie.
Berries high, an' berries low,
Heigho the blaeberrie!

Puin' o' the blaeberrie.

Puin' o' the blaeberrie,

Heigho the blaeberrie!
Wow! but we were near, I ween,
Puin' o' the blaeberrie!

Heigho the blaeberrie!

Puin' o' the blaeberrie?
Berries e'en grow where they will,
Heigho the blaeberrie!
Berries here, an' berries there,
Heigho the blaeberrie!

Puin' o' the blaeberrie.

Heigho the blaeberrie!
