The slippy stane - first lines read: Wade canny through this weary world, / An' pick your steps wi' care; / Never wi' your neebours quarrel, / But aye dae what is fair.
The Scotch brigade - first lines read: On the banks of the Clyde stood a lad and his lassie, / The lad's name was Geordie, the lassie's was Jean. / She flung her arms around him, and cried do not leave me, / For Geordie as going to fight for his Queen.
Somewhere the sun is shining - first lines read: Somewhere in the world the moon is shining, / Shining on the fields and golden hills; / Somewhere near the shadows slowly falling, / Creeping o'er the silent vales and rills.
Nancy Whisky - first lines read: This seven long years I've been a weaver, / Until my wages they were pulled down, / And, to buy myself a new suit of clothes, / I took my way up to Dublin town.
The nameless lassie - first lines read: There's nane may ever guess guess or trow my bonnie lassie'name, / There's name may ken the humble cot my lassie ca's her hame, / Yet though my lassie's nameless, an' her kin o' low degree, / Her heart is warm, her thoughts are pure, an' O, she's dear  to me.
