The Earl o Aboyne is awa to Lunnon gane,An he's taen Joannan wi him,
An it ill be Yule ere he come again;
But he micht hae taen his bonnie Peggie Ewan.

Cook-maidens all, be ready at my call,Hae a' your pats an pans a-reekin;
For the finest o flowrs, gae through your bowrs,
For the Earl o Aboyne's a comin.
