paddy goes to holyhead – johnnie cope lyrics
jock sent a letter frae dunbar
sayin “charlie meet me an´ ye daur
an´ i´ll learn ye the airt o´ war
if ye´ll meet me here in the morning”
charlie read the letter upon
the drew it is all scabbard from
so, follow me, my merry men
we´ll meet johnnie cope in the morning
now johnnie, be as good as your word
come, let us try baith fire and sword
and dinna flee like a frightend bird
that´s chased frae its nest i´ the morning
when johnnie cope he heard o´ this
he thocht himself wouldna be amiss
tae hae saddled me horse in readiness
tae flee awa in the morning
fye now, johnnie, get up an´ rin
the highland bagpipes mak´ a din
it´s better tae sleep in a hale skin
for it will be a bluidie morning
when johnnie cope tae dunbar came
they speired at him, “where´s a´ your men?”
“the de´il confound me gin i ken
for i left them a´ in the morning”
hey, johnnie cope are ye waukin´ yet
or are your drums a-beating yet?
if ye were waukin´ i would wait
tae gang tae the coals in the morning
