Lyrics:
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, gouk = cuckoo Here's to the king and Donald Macgillavry. Come like a weigh-bauk, Donald Macgillavry, weigh-bauk = scales Come like a weigh-bauk, 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, wud = mad As he were wud, or stang'd wi' an ether, man; stung by an adder When he comes back, there's some will look merrily: Here's to King James and to Donald Macgillavry. Come like a weaver, Donald Macgillavry, Come like a weaver, Donald Macgillavry, Pack on your back, and elwand sae cleverly; elwand = measuring rod Gie them full measure, my Donald Macgillavry. Donald has foughten wi' rief and roguery; rief = banditry Donald has dinner'd wi banes and beggary, banes = bones 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 to Donald Macgillavry. Donald's the callan that brooks nae tangleness; callan = fine fellow Whigging and prigging and a'newfangleness, They maun be gane: he winna be baukit, man: baukit = balked 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, shoemaker's thread Up wi' King James and wi' Donald Macgillavry. Donald was mumpit wi' mirds and mockery; lulled with flattery Donald was blinded wi' blads o' property; blads = lots Arles ran high, but makings were naething, man, Arles = Thrashing Lord, how Donald is flyting and fretting, man. Flyt = scold Come like the devil, Donald Macgillavry, Come like the devil, Donald Macgillavry; skelp = chastise Skelp them and scaud them that proved sae unbritherly, scaud = scold Up wi' King James and wi' Donald Macgillavry!
