Paddy Goes To Holyhead Lyrics
Johnnie Cope Lyrics
Jock sent a letter frae dunbar
Sayin "charlie meet me anŽ ye daur
AnŽ iŽll learn ye the airt oŽ war
If yeŽll meet me here in the morning"
Charlie read the letter upon
The drew it is all scabbard from
So, follow me, my merry men
WeŽll meet johnnie cope in the morning
Now johnnie, be as good as your word
Come, let us try baith fire and sword
And dinna flee like a frightend bird
ThatŽs chased frae its nest iŽ the morning
When johnnie cope he heard oŽ this
He thocht himself wouldna be amiss
Tae hae saddled me horse in readiness
Tae flee awa in the morning
Fye now, johnnie, get up anŽ rin
The highland bagpipes makŽ a din
ItŽs better tae sleep in a hale skin
For it will be a bluidie morning
When johnnie cope tae dunbar came
They speired at him, "whereŽs aŽ your men?"
"the deŽil confound me gin i ken
For i left them aŽ in the morning"
Hey, johnnie cope are ye waukinŽ yet
Or are your drums a-beating yet?
If ye were waukinŽ i would wait
Tae gang tae the coals in the morning
