Donald McGillavry lyrics

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!
