Lyrics:

Come, a' ye Kincardine lads
And tak a dram wi' me
We'll ging doon tae Sandy's still
And tak the barley bree

Chorus (after each verse):
Wi' a hi dum a doo dum a daddy o
Hi dum a doo dum a daddy o
Hi dum a doo dum a daddy o
Hi dum a doo dum a daddy o

Sandy rade his auld gray mare
He rade tae break o' day
Sayin', "Laddie, laddie, gyan yersel'
The gaugers are on their way"

The gaugers, they cam tae the hoose
They went richt up the stair
They searched the room, a' richt aroon
But they fund nae bottles there

They pu'd the blankets aff the bed
They threw them on the flair
Maggie, she cam runnin' ben
Sayin', "Ye beggars, get oot the door"

Sandy Callum made the still
He made it tae a plan
So it would stand away oot there
And mak the doubles strang

Come, a' ye Kincardine lads
And tak a dram wi' me
We'll ging doon tae Sandy's still
And tak the barley bree
