  1. Oh Sawny Bean, oh Sawny Bean:
  2. Eh'll mak a curry oot yer spleen,
  3. Profiteroles oot baith yer een,
  4. An fry yer lugs, auld Sawny Bean.

  5. Within the caves a Ballantrae,
  6. Wi ilka finger, ilka tae,
  7. Yer oxters, erse, yer hauns, yer hert:
  8. He'll mak a dish oot ilka pairt.

  9. An fae yer heid he'll howk yer brains
  10. An mak a broth tae feed ehs weans.
  11. Fur aw guid fowk fae Ayrshire say,
  12. Ye shouldna gang tae Ballantrae.
