Nae mair about the corse ye’ll see him
Nae mair a bawbee will ye gie him,
Nae mair his hat he’ll gar flee frae him
Upon the street,
An’ cry noo Jamie Gemmill gie them
The Tailor’s leap.

But noo I maun lay doun my pen,
An’ to my verses mak an' en’,
Whare’er he’s gaen weel may he fen
An' let ilk chiel
Unto his prayer say Amen,
Sae fare ye weel.

EPITAPH.

Here in this Kirk yard
There lieth interr’d
The Body of wee Jamie Gemmill

Who on earth was aye frisky
