This is my scheme, did Johnnie say,And, Jamie, tell't to nane, I pray:Some day, ere lang, I'll hire a Gig,And play them a most desp'rate rig;At Falkirk twa men in't will gang,At Lauriestoun ane out will bang.Then tak' his heels—rin East or West,Whatever way that he thinks best.What way they're treated I will ken,That I may carry on my plan.Some after't, nae doubt, will rin quick,Never suspecting it a trick;They then will seiz't, but naething find,To please them, as they'd hae a mind.Then after that, I think, we mayWi' safety get them sent away,An' live fu' happy, while we're here:Now, Jamie, fare ye-weel, my dear.
Now, every one be on your guard.And watch in earnest your Kirk yard;That there the dead may safely lye,Until they're summon'd frae on high.
FINIS.
