Wi` tartan trews and white cokauds,<br />
Wi` swords and guns and rungs and gauds,<br />

On the morrow when he did rise,<br />
He look`d between him and the skies;<br />
He saw them wi` their naked thighs,<br />
Which fear`d him in the morning.<br />

Crying for a man of war;<br />

O what`s become of all your men,<br />
In faith, says he, I dinna ken,<br />
I left them a` this morning.<br />

Says Lord Mark Car, ye are na blate,<br />
To bring us the news o` your ain defeat;<br />
I think you deserve the back o` the gate,<br />
Get out o` my sight this morning.<br />

Johnny Cope
(Robert Burns)

Sir John Cope trode the north right far,
Yet ne`er a rebel he cam naur,
Until he landed at Dunbar
Right early in a morning.

CHORUS
Hey Johnie Cope are ye wauking yet,
Or are ye sleeping I would wit:
O haste ye get up for the drums do beat,
Of fye Cope rise in the morning.

He wrote a challenge for Dunbar,
Come fight me Charlie an ye daur;
If it be not by the chance of war
I`ll give you a merry morning.

When Charlie look`d the letter upon
He drew his sword and scabbard from-
`So Heaven restore to me my own,
I`ll meet you, Cope, in the morning.`

Cope swore with many a bloody word
That he would fight them gun and sword,
But he fled frae his nest like an ill scar`d bird,
And Johnie he took wing in the morning.

It was upon an afternoon,
Sir Johnie march`d to Preston town;
He says, `my lads come lean you down,
And we`ll fight the boys in the morning.`

But when he saw the Highland lads
Wi` tartan trews and white cokauds,
Wi` swords and guns and rungs and gauds,
O Johnie he took wing in the morning.

On the morrow when he did rise,
He look`d between him and the skies;
He saw them wi` their naked thighs,
Which fear`d him in the morning.

O then he flew into Dunbar,
Crying for a man of war;
He thought to have pass`d for a rustic tar,
And gotten awa in the morning.

Sir Johnie into Berwick rade,
Just as the devil had been his guide;
Gien him the warld he would na stay`d
To foughten the boys in the morning.

Says the Berwickers unto Sir John,
O what`s become of all your men,
In faith, says he, I dinna ken,
I left them a` this morning.

Says Lord Mark Car, ye are na blate,
To bring us the news o` your ain defeat;
I think you deserve the back o` the gate,
Get out o` my sight this morning.
