Brown, De Sylva, Henderson and Jolson's 1929 song, 'Little Pal'.
Fit like Jean oor 'Chucky-Stane' an ye?
A howp thit ye wull lat me bide-a-wee?

Jist lik ma Jock his Daddy he'd him gie?
It's doolsome him been taen ow'r seen,
Tae kep tryst wi oor Laird fa rowles abeen.
Noo hearken Granda's chirm ma wee wean -
Please growe up lik yer Da, 'Chucky-Stane'.

Tae tak tent yer Mither fan aa things they micht ging wrang.

Syne baith'rin yer Mither garr her greet ow'r ye as weel.
