Donald MacGillavry / O'Neill's Cavalry March
Donald cam up the hill hard and hungry
Donald's come doon the hill wild and angry
Donald will clear the gouk's nest cleverly
Here's to King James 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 cam 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 t'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
Up wi'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 with King James and Donald Macgillavry!
Donald's come doon the hill wild and angry
Donald will clear the gouk's nest cleverly
Here's to King James 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 cam 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 t'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
Up wi'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

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 with King James and Donald Macgillavry!
