A' bhean a bh'aig an tàillear chaol

Puirt à beul, (“mouth music”) to a tune by Neil Gow

Lyrics:

A' bhean a bh'aig an tàillear chaol,

thug an t-aog an ceann dith.

Thug an t-aog na casan agus 

thug an cat an ceann dith.

Translation:

The wife thee slim tailor had,

The ghost took off her head;

The ghost took off her feet

And the cat took off her head.
