I am a Neilston immigrant, a Heilandman, indeed
I moved down to this coldrife toon, beside your toony breed.
While in the shops and in the pubs, I've listened to your patter.
At first I thought I had the plague, the more I heard your chatter.
I thought I'd gained your friendship and try as best as I can
But all I hear is your  pious cry "He's no a Neilston man"
