Johnny Cope [Italian translation]

Hey Johnny Cope are ye walking yet

or are your drums a beating yet

If ye were walking I would wait

tae gang tae the coals in the morning

Cope sent a challenge from Dunbar

saying Charlie meet me an' ye daur

An' I'll learn ye the art o' war

if ye'll meet me in the morning

When Charlie looked his letter upon

he drew his sword the scabbard from

Come follow me my merry men

and we'll meet Johnny Cope in the morning

Now Johnny be as good as your word come

let us try baithe fire and sword

And dinna flee like a frichted bird

that's chased frae its nest i' the morning

When Johnny Cope he heard o' this

He thocht it wadna ba a miss

Tae hae a horse in readiness

Tae flee awa in the morning

Hey Johnny Cope are ye walking yet

or are your drums a beating yet

If ye were walking I would wait

tae gang tae the coals in the morning

Fye now Johnny get up a' rin

The Highland bagpipes mak' a din

Its better tae Sleep in a hale skin

for it will be a bloody morning

When Johnny Cope tae Dunbar cam'

the spiered at him Where's a your men

The de'il confound me gin I ken

for I left them a' in the morning

In faith qou Johnny I got sic flags

Wi' their claymores an' philabegs

Gin I face them again de'il brak my legs

so I wish you a' good morning

Hey Johnny Cope are ye walking yet

or are your drums a beating yet

If ye were walking I would wait

tae gang tae the coals in the morning
