The Souters of Selkirk

UP wi’ the Souters o’ Selkirk,
  And down wi’ the Earl of Home;
And up wi’ a’ the braw lads,
  That sew the single-soled shoon.

Fye upon yellow and yellow,
  And fye upon yellow and green,
But up wi’ the true blue and scarlet,
  And up wi’ the single-soled sheen.

Up wi’ the Souters o’ Selkirk,
  For they are baith trusty and leal;
And up wi’ the Men o’ the Forest,
  And down wi’ the Merse to the deil.
