| Sèist : | Chorus (after each verse) : |
| Tha buaidh air an uisge bheatha | There's benefit in the whiskey |
| Tha buaidh air 's cha ghabh e cleith | It's good for you, that can't be denied |
| Tha buaidh air an uisge bheatha | There's benefit in the whiskey |
| Dh'òlainn tè is fuar i | I'd take a drink of it cold |
| An cuala sibh 's an àite so | Did you hear around this area |
| Mu 'n Ford a fhuair an Lamanach | Of the Ford that Lamond got |
| Gu fan i far am fàgar i | It'll stay where it's left |
| Mur tàimear i cha ghluais i | And won't move unless it's towed |
| 'S e sud an car tha cunnartach | That's a car that's dangerous |
| Ma thàras i air buill' thoirt dhuit | If it gives you a thump |
| An làrach far an cuir i thu | Wherever it sets you down |
| Gu fuirich thu 'nad shuain ann | You'll stay there, knocked out |
| Ma ghluaiseas e do 'n bhaile rith | If he goes to town with it |
| A steach Black Brook gu 'n caillir i | It'll lose steam by Black Brook |
| Cha dèan i cnoc Iain Shalaich dheth | It won't make it up Dirty John's hill |
| 'S cha toir a h-anail suas i | It hasn't got the power |
| 'S gu 'n d'thuirt Dòmhnaill Angus ris | Donald Angus said to him |
| An déidh dha chuis a rannsachadh | The man who checked it out |
| Tha 'n uidheam stiùiridh cam oirre | "The steering is all bent |
| Mu 'n dèan i call, cuir uait i | Before it causes serious damage, get rid of it" |
| Nis crìochnaichidh mi 'n dan so dhuibh | Now I'll finish this song for you |
| An dùil gu 'n dèan sibh fabhar leam | And hope you'll do me this favor |
| Na innsibh e do 'n Lamanach | Don't tell this to Lamond |
| Mur fàs e ann an gruaim rium | In case he gets upset with me |
