Il testo della Donald mcgillavry / o'neill's cavalry march

Donald's gane up the hill hard and hungry,
Donald comes down the hill wild and angry;
Donald will clear the gouk's nest cleverly,
Here's to the king and donald macgillavry.
Come like a weighbauk, donald macgillavry,
Come like a weighbauk, donald macgillavry,
Balance them fair, and balance them cleverly:
Off wi'the counterfeit, donald macgillavry.

Donald's run o'er the hill but his tether, man,
As he were wud, or stang'd wi' an ether, man;
When he comes back, there's some will look merrily:
Here's to king james and donald macgillavry.
Come like a weaver, donald macgillavry,
Come like a weaver, donald macgillavry,
Pack on your back, and elwand sae cleverly;
Gie them full measure, my donald macgillavry.

Donald has foughten wi' rief and roguery;
Donald has dinner'd wi banes and beggary,
Better it were for whigs and whiggery
Meeting the devil than donald macgillavry.
Come like a tailor, donald macgillavry,
Come like a tailor, donald macgillavry,
Push about, in and out, thimble them cleverly,
Here's to king james and donald macgillavry.

Donald's the callan that brooks nae tangleness;
Whigging and prigging and a'newfangleness,
They maun be gane: he winna be baukit, man:
He maun hae justice, or faith he'll tak it, man.
Come like a cobler, donald macgillavry,
Come like a cobler, donald macgillavry;
Beat them, and bore them, and lingel them cleverly,
Up wi' king james and donald macgillavry.

Donald was mumpit wi mirds and mockery;
Donald was blinded wi' blads o' property;
Arles ran high, but makings were naething, man,
Lord, how donald is flyting and fretting, man.
Come like the devil, donald macgillavry,
Come like the devil, donald macgillavry;
Skelp them and scaud them that proved sae unbritherly,
Up wi king james and donald macgillavry!
