To buy terbaccer wi'
Cho and wi' you and wi' you and wi' you my Johnny lad
I'll dance the buckles off my shoes wi' you my Johnny lad
As I was walkin' Sunday 'twas there I saw the queen
A-playln' at the football wi' the lads on glasgow green
Cho and wi' you and wi' you and wi' you my Johnny lad
I'll dance the buckles off my shoes wi' you my Johnny lad
The captain 'o the other side was scorin' wi' great style
The queen she called a policeman and had him thrown in jail
Cho and wi' you and wi' you and wi' you my Johnny lad
I'll dance the buckles off my shoes wi' you my Johnny lad
Napoleon was an emperor and he ruled on land and sea
He ruled all France and Germany but he never rule Jock McGhee

Samson was a mighty man and he fought wi' the cuddy's jaw
He fought a thousand battles wearing crimson flannel drawers
Cho and wi' you and wi' you and wi' you my Johnny lad

Now Johnny is a bonny lad he is a lad of mine
I've never had a better lad and I've had twenty-nine
Cho and wi' you and wi' you and wi' you my Johnny lad
