PLAY SEVEN NATIONS Johnny Copefermoy Lassesjerusalem Rap video JOHNNY COPE
Cope sent a sessage from Dunbar
sayin` Charlie meet me if you dare
and I`ll learn you the art of war
if you`ll meet me in the morning.

Hey, now Johnny are you wailin` yet
and are your drums a beatin` yet
if you`re walkin` I would wait
you`re going to the coals in the morning

When Charlie looked the letter upon
he drew his sword his scabbard from
follow me my merry men
and we`ll meet Johnny Cope in the morning

Go now Johnny get up and run
the highland `pipes are making a din
it`s better to sleep in a hail skin
it will be a bloody mornin`

When Johnny Cope to Dunbar came
he asked of him, `Where`s all your men?`
they`ll confound me again and again
for I left them all in the mornin`

Hey, now Johnny you weren`t too late
to come with news of your defeat
and leave your men in such a state
so early in the morning.

JERUSALEM RAP
I`m a stranger here from Ireland`s shore
I`ve been on the raod six months or more
hikin`, workin`, travelin` in style
I`m a vagabond from Ireland`s isle
me sunburned thumb stuck up in the air
many`s the lift from here to there
cars, buses, vans and trains
in the punishing heat, the snow, and the rain

Chorus:
Oh whack fol the diddle fol the
di ro day
whack fol the diddle fol the der-
oh Mrs. Dolan, yer son he isn`t workin`

I came from Dublin to Jerusalem town
had a drink or twon on the journey down
at a railway station called Gar du Nord
missed my train thru garglin` hard
three days later in Napoli on a Turkish boat
I sailed to sea slept in a hot hole down below
travelin` tourist class ya know

Chorus
