I hae a wife o' my ain, I'll partake wi' naebody;
I'll tak cuckold frae nane, I'll gie cuckold to naebody.
I hae a penny to spend, There—thanks to. naebody !
I hae naething to lend, I'll borrow frae naebody.
I am naebody's lord,
I'll be slave to naebody:
I hae a gude braid-sword, I'll tak dunts frae naebody.
I'll be merry and free, I'll be sad for naebody,
Naebody cares for me, I care for naebody.
