Is there for honest poverty
That hings his head, an' a' that
The coward slave we pass him by
We dare be poor for a' that
For a' that an' a' that
Our toils obscure an' a' that
The rank is but the guinea's stamp
The Man's the gowd for a' that
Ye see yon birkie ca'd a lord
Wha struts an' stares an' a' that
Tho' hundreds worship at his word
He's but a coof for a' that
For a' that and' a' that
His ribband, star an' a' that
The man o' independent mind
He looks an' laughs at a' that
What though on hamely fare we dine
Wear hoddin grey, an' a' that
Gie fools their silks and knaves their wine
A Man's a Man for a' that
For a' that and a' that
Their tinsel show an' a' that
The honest man tho' e'er sae poor
Is king o' men for a' that
Then let us pray that come it may
As come it will for a' that
That Sense and Worth o'er a' the earth
Shall bear the gree an' a' that
An' a' that an' a' that
That Man to Man the world o'er
Shall brothers be for a' that
