There was a wee cooper what lived in Fife

Knickety knackety noo noo noo

And he had gotten a gentle wife

Hey willy wallacky how John Dougal

A lane quo rooshety roo roo roo

She wouldna bake nor she wouldna brew

Knickety knackety noo noo noo

For the spoilin' o' her comely hue

Hey willy wallacky how John Dougal

A lane quo rooshety roo roo roo

She wouldna card nor she wouldna spin

Knickety knackety noo noo noo

For the shamin' o' her gentle kin

A lane quo rooshety roo roo roo

So the wee cooper went to his woodpack

Knickety knackety noo noo noo

And laid a sheepskin on his wife's back
