   The version I remember is:   
   Wha' saw the tattie howkers?   
   Wha' saw them gang awa?   
   Wha' saw the tattie howkers?   
   ganging doon the Brimielaw.   
      
   Same o" them hod picks an" shovels   
   Same o' them hod nan atall.   
   Same o' them hod umbrellas   
   just to keep the rain awa.   
      
   The other versions seem to be taken from the 42nd Highlander (Black Watch)   
   rendition.   
   But us Gordons didnee use them
