Donald's gane up the hill hard and hungry,
|
Donald comes down the hill wild and angry;
|
Donald will clear the gouk's nest cleverly,
|
Here's to the king and Donald Macgillavry.
|
Come like a weighbauk, Donald Macgillavry,
|
Come like a weighbauk, Donald Macgillavry,
|
Balance them fair, and balance them cleverly:
|
Off wi'the counterfeit, Donald Macgillavry.
|
|
Donald's run o'er the hill but his tether, man,
|
As he were wud, or stang'd wi' an ether, man;
|
When he comes back, there's some will look merrily:
|
Here's to King James and Donald Macgillavry.
|
Come like a weaver, Donald Macgillavry,
|
Come like a weaver, Donald Macgillavry,
|
Pack on your back, and elwand sae cleverly;
|
Gie them full measure, my Donald Macgillavry.
|
|
Donald has foughten wi' rief and roguery;
|
Donald has dinner'd wi banes and beggary,
|
Better it were for Whigs and Whiggery
|
Meeting the devil than Donald Macgillavry.
|
Come like a tailor, Donald Macgillavry,
|
Come like a tailor, Donald Macgillavry,
|
Push about, in and out, thimble them cleverly,
|
Here's to King James and Donald Macgillavry.
|
|
Donald's the callan that brooks nae tangleness;
|
Whigging and prigging and a'newfangleness,
|
They maun be gane: he winna be baukit, man:
|
He maun hae justice, or faith he'll tak it, man.
|
Come like a cobler, Donald Macgillavry,
|
Come like a cobler, Donald Macgillavry;
|
Beat them, and bore them, and lingel them cleverly,
|
Up wi' King James and Donald Macgillavry.
|
|
Donald was mumpit wi mirds and mockery;
|
Donald was blinded wi' blads o' property;
|
Arles ran high, but makings were naething, man,
|
Lord, how Donald is flyting and fretting, man.
|
Come like the devil, Donald Macgillavry,
|
Come like the devil, Donald Macgillavry;
|
Skelp them and scaud them that proved sae unbritherly,
|
Up wi King James and Donald Macgillavry!
