The first verse of the old song (given in Joseph Ritson's Scottish Songs, 1794) goes:
O Will you hae ta tartan plaid,
Or will you hae ta ring, mattam?
Or will you hae ta kiss o' me?
And dats ta pretty ting, mattam.
Had awa', bide awa',
Had awa' frae me, Donald,
I'll neither kiss nor hae a ring,
Nae tartan plaids for me, Donald.
The song was also printed in Allan Ramsay's Tea-Table Miscellany (1750, p. 152).
