“Some ca’ me this, some ca’ me that,
What name does best befa’ me;
But when I walk in Edinburgh streets,
The Curling Buckle they ca’ me.”
“O waes me now, O Curling Buckle,
And, alas! that ever I saw thee;
For I’m in love, sick, sick in love,
And I kenna weel fat they ca’ thee.”
“Some ca’ me this, some ca’ me that,
Whatever name best befa’s me;
But when I’m in Scotland’s King’s high court,
Clatter the Speens they ca’ me.”
“O waes me now, O Clatter the Speens,
And alas! that ever I saw thee;
For I’m in love, sick, sick in love,
I kenna weel fat they ca’ thee.”
“Some ca’ me this, some ca’ me that,
I carena what they ca’ me;
But when wi’ the Earl o’ Moray I ride,
It’s Scour the Braes they ca’ me.”
“O waes me now, O Scour the Braes,
And alas! that ever I saw thee;
For I’m in love, sick, sick in love,
And kenna weel fat they ca’ thee.”
“Some ca’ me this, some ca’ me that,
Whatever name best befa’s me;
But when I walk through St. Johnson’s town,
George Burnett there they ca’ me.”
