(Chorus) Come, now, step it along; Foot it bravely, heel and tow, Fill the air with happy song; To the clippin' on we go. Donald Lamont, he'll be there; Kitty Campbell, and Pat Macnair, Mally og, and plenty mair A-clippin' the sheep in the morning. Shear the sheep, and pack the woo' Eat the bannocks, and sup the brew; Then to ploys and dancing too, And home at the top of the morning.
