- Oh Sawny Bean, oh Sawny Bean:
- Eh'll mak a curry oot yer spleen,
- Profiteroles oot baith yer een,
- An fry yer lugs, auld Sawny Bean.
- Within the caves a Ballantrae,
- Wi ilka finger, ilka tae,
- Yer oxters, erse, yer hauns, yer hert:
- He'll mak a dish oot ilka pairt.
- An fae yer heid he'll howk yer brains
- An mak a broth tae feed ehs weans.
- Fur aw guid fowk fae Ayrshire say,
- Ye shouldna gang tae Ballantrae.____
