This song, presented for publication by Robert Burns was probably a ditty that he collected on his travels.

“Bannocks o' bear meal, Bannocks o' barley,

Here's to the Highlandman's Bannocks o' barley!

Wha, in a brulyie, will first cry a parley?

Never the lads wi' the Bannocks o' barley,

Wha, in his wae days, were loyal to Charlie?

Wha but the lads wi' the Bannocks o' barley!”
