Of Scottish names a great array + 

We meet at Erabro on Fair Day; + 

McDonald, McKenzie and McKay, + 

And Murray, Ross and Sutherland, + 

And Munroes round you stand. + 

Your lassies worthy of our song, + 

And youth are famed for muscle strong + 

For they can pull both hard and long; + 

And their fame is heard afar. + 

Victorious in each tug of war. + 

But these battles bring no sorrow + 

To the hardy youth of Zorra, + 

And no tears to eyes of Flora; + 

They are not deadly tugs of war, + 

And they leave no wounds nor scar. + 
