Tis the Lads

When the moon is full and the earth made new
The twilight is over, yet before the dew
Hide you the baubles, and cattle too
For the Lads o' Wamphray will call upon you

So nimble and quick
Who is it? you say
Wamphray and Locherbie
Come out to play

Tis the Lads, aye the lads
That will call upon you
Be ready, aye ready
To give up what's due

Light thieves all, and quicker than sound
Unhallowed, aye ready, they make their round
To gather all goodness that may be found
Then gather together, in ale to drowned

So nimble and quick
Who is it? you say
Wamphray and Locherbie
Come out to play

Tis the Lads, aye the lads
That will call upon you
Be ready, aye ready
To give up what's due
