 When Johnny Coup to Dunbar came,

They spier d at him where's a‘ your men?

O wow, says Johnny I dinna ken,

For I left them a‘ i‘ the morning.

Hey Johnny Coup, &c.

Now, Johnny, troth ye was nae blate,

To come wi' the news o‘ your ain defeat,

And leave your men in sic a strait,

So early in the morning.

Hey Johnny Coup, &c.

Alas! quoth Johnny, I got a flag,

Wi‘ their claymores and philabegs,

If I face them again I'll break my legs;

So I wish you a' good morning.

Hey Johnny Coup are ye waking yet.

Or are your drums a-beating yet;

If ye were waking I would wait,

To gang to the coals i‘ the morning.

 

Beneath a green shade I fand a fair maid,

was sleeping sound and still, ;

A' lowin wi‘ love my fancy did rove

around her wi' good will O.

Her bosom I prest but sunk in her rest,

she stirr d na my joys to spill O.
