UP AND WARN A’, WILLIE.

Up and warn a’ Wille,

Warn, warn a’;

To hear my canty Highland sang

Relate the thing I saw, Wille.

When we gaed to the braes o’ Mar,

And to the weapon-shaw, Willie,

Wi’ true design to serve our king

And banish Whigs awa’, Willie.

Up and warn a’, Willie.

Warn, warn a’;

For lords and lairds cam here bedeen,

And wow but they were braw, Willie.

But when the standard was set up,

Right fierce the wind did blaw, Willie;

The royal nit upon the tap

Down to the ground did fa’, Willie,

Up and warn a’ Willie,

Warn, warn a’;

Then second sighted Sandy said,

We’d do nae gude at a’, Willie.
