Donald M'Gillavry

Donald's gane up the hill hard an' hungry,
Donald's come down the hill wild an' angry ;
Donald will clear the gouk's nest cleverly;
Here's to the king an' Donald M'Gillavry !
Come like a weigh-bauk, Donald M'Gillavry,
Come like a weigh-bauk, Donald M'Gillavry ;
Balance them fair, an' balance them cleverly,
Off wi' the counterfeit, Donald M'Gillavry !

Donald's come o'er the hill trailin' his tether, man,
As he war wud, or stang'd wi' an ether, man ;
When he gaes back, there's some will look merrily ;
Here's to King James an' Donald M'Gillavry,
Come like a weaver, Donald M'Gillavry,
Come like a weaver, Donald M'Gillavry ;
Pack on your back an elwand o' steelary,
Gie them full measure, my Donald M'Gillavry !

Donald has foughten wi' reif and roguery,
Donald has dinner'd wi' banes an' beggary ;
Better it war for whigs an' whiggery
Meeting the deevil than Donald M'Gillavry.
Come like a tailor, Donald M'Gillavry,
Come like a tailor, Donald M'Gillavry ;
Push about, in an' out, thimble them cleverly —
Here's to King James an' Donald M'Gillavry !

Donald's the callant that bruiks nae tangleness,
Whigging an' prigging an' a' newfangleness ;
They maun be gane, he winna be baukit, man ,
He maun hae justice, or rarely he'll tak it, man.

Come like a cobler, Donald M'Gillavry
Come like a cobler, Donald M' Gillavry ;
Bore them, an' yerk them, an' lingel them cleverly —
Up wi' King James an' Donald M' Gillavry !

Donald was mumpit wi' mirds and mockery,
Donald was blindit wi' bladds o' property ;
Aries ran high, but makings war naething, man ;
Gudeness, how Donald is flyting an' fretting, man !
Come like the deevil, Donald M' Gillavry,
Come like the deevil, Donald M' Gillavry ;
Skelp them an' scadd them pruved sae unbritherly —
Up wi' King James an' Donald M' Gillavry !
