There was a lad was born in Kyle

But whatna day o'whatna style

I doubt it's hardly worth the while

To be sae nice wi' Robin

Robin was a rovin' Boy

Rantin' rovin' rantin' rovin';

Robin was a rovin' Boy

Rantin' rovin' Robin

Our monarch's hindmost year but ane

Was five-and-twenty days begun

'Twas then a blast o'Janwar' Win'

Blew hansel in on Robin

Robin was a rovin' Boy

Rantin' rovin' rantin' rovin';

Robin was a rovin' Boy

Rantin' rovin' Robin

He'll hae misfortunes great and sma'

But ay a heart aboon them a';

He'll be a credit till us a'

We'll a'be proud o'Robin

Robin was a rovin' Boy

Rantin' rovin' rantin' rovin';

Robin was a rovin' Boy

Rantin' rovin' Robin
