 When Johnny Coup to Dunbar came,

They spier’d at him wheres a your men?

O wow, says Johnny I diynna ken,

For I left them a' i' the morning,

Hey Johnny Coup &c.

Now Johnny troth ye was nae blate,

To come we 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 fleg,

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 waken I would wait,

To gang to the coals i' the morning.





Last night the dogs did bark,

I went to the gate to see.

There every lass had her spark,

But nobody coming for me.

And its oh! dear what shall because of me?

oh! dear what shall I do,
