Arms and legs a' wallopin', wallopin',
"Diel hae the last," quo' Duncan M'Callachan

An' keepit close at Duncan's fud,
Till in the glar, wi waefu thud,
His golloping did end, jo,
But a' the lave keept gallopin', gollopin',
Arms and legs a' wallopin wallopin';

Laird o Tullyben, jo.

His whup he handled like a flail,
An scour'd thro thick an thin like hail;
Haith he cam' right far ben, jo.
But Duncan he keept gallopin' gallopin',
Arms an' legs a' wallopin' wallopin",
“Diel hae the last, quo' Duncan M'Callathan

Laird o Tullyben, jo.

Wi' sic a wamblin' in the wame,
An' bockin rainbows o'er his main,
Nae langer could conten jo.
