O tail toddle, tail toddle
Tammie gars my tail toddle
But an' ben, wi diddle-doddle;
Tammie gars my tail toddle
Tail toddle, tail toddle
Tammie gars my tail toddle
But an' ben, wi diddle-doddle;
Tammie gars my tail toddle

When I'm deid, I'm oot o' date
An' when I'm seik I'm fu' o' trouble
When I'm weel, I stap aboot
An' Tammie gars my tail toddle

[Chorus]
Tail toddle, tail toddle
Tammie gars my tail toddle
But an' ben, wi diddle-doddle;
Tammie gars my tail toddle
Tail toddle, tail toddle
Tammie gars my tail toddle
But an' ben, wi diddle-doddlе;

Jessiе Jack, she gied a plack
Helen Wallace gied a boddle
Quo' the bride, "It's ower little
For tae mend a broken doddle."
[Chorus]
Tail toddle, tail toddle
Tammie gars my tail toddle
But an' ben, wi diddle-doddle;
Tammie gars my tail toddle
Tail toddle, tail toddle
Tammie gars my tail toddle
But an' ben, wi diddle-doddle;
Tammie gars my tail toddle

Oor guid-wife held ower to Fife
For to buy a coal riddle
Lang or she cam' back again
O Tammie garred my tail toddle

Tail toddle, tail toddle
Tammie gars my tail toddle
But an' ben, wi diddle doddle
Tammie gars my tail toddle
Tail toddle, tail toddle
Tammie gars my tail toddle
But an' ben, wi diddle doddle
Tammie gars my tail toddle
