First lines
Macphairson Clonglocketty Angus M'Clan / Was the son of an elderly laboring man, / You've guessed him a Scotchman, shrewd reader, at sight, / And p'raps altogether, shrewd reader, you're right.
From the bonnie blue Forth to the hills of Deeside, / Round by Dingwall and Wrath to the mouth of the Clyde, / There wasn't a child or woman or man / Who could pipe with Clonglocketty Angus M'Clan.
