Donald Caird's come again :

Donald Caird's some again:

Tell the news in burgh and glen,

Donald Caird's come again.

Donald Cuird can lilt and sing,

Blythely dance the Highland fling

Drink till the guidman be blind;

Fleece till the guidewife be kind;—

Hoop a liglin, cloot a pan,

Crack a pow wi' ony man

Tell the news in burgh and glen,

Donald Caird's come again.

Donald Caird can wire a maukin,

Kens the wiles o dun deer stawkin;

Leisters kipper, makes a shift

To shoot moorfowl in the drift.

Water bailiffs, rangers, keepers,

He can wauk when you are sleepers:

Not for bountith or reward

Dare you mill,wi' Donald Caird.

Donald Caird can drink a gill

Fast as hostle wite can fill;

Ilka ane that sells good liquor

Kens how Donald bends a bicker.

When he's fou he's stout and saucy

Keeps the candle o'the causey:
