A:Wyresdale, Lancashire
S:Souters were shoe-makers who fought at Flodden Field in 1513.
S:Up wi' the souters of Selkirk,And down wi' the earl of Home;
S:And up wi' a' the braw lads, That sew the single-soled shoon.
S:Fye upon yellow and yellow,And fye upon yellow and green,
S:But up wi the true blue and scarlet, And up wi' the single-soled sheen.
S:Up wi’ the souters of Selkirk,For they are baith trusty and leal;
S:And up wi’ the men o’ the Forest, And down wi’ the Merse to the deil.
