Johnie cam to our toun,
To our toon, to our toun,
Johnie cam to our toun,
The body wi' thet ye;
And O as he kittled me,
Kittled me, kittled me,
O as he kittled me,
But I forgot to cry.

He gaed thro' the fields wi' me,
The fields wi' me, the fields wi' me,
He gaed thro' the fields wi' me,
And doun amang the rye.
Then O as he kittled me,
Kittled me, kittled me,
Then O as he kittled me --
But I forgot to cry."
