Burns Robert - Johnny Cope слова песни
Johnny Cope (Robert Burns)Sir John Cope trode the north right far,Yet ne`er a rebel he cam naur,Until he landed at DunbarRight early in a morning. CHORUS Hey Johnie Cope are ye wauking yet, Or are ye sleeping I would wit: O haste ye get up for the drums do beat, Of fye Cope rise in the morning.He wrote a challenge for Dunbar,Come fight me Charlie an ye daur;If it be not by the chance of warI`ll give you a merry morning.When Charlie look`d the letter uponHe drew his sword and scabbard from-"So Heaven restore to me my own,I`ll meet you, Cope, in the morning."Cope swore with many a bloody wordThat he would fight them gun and sword,But he fled frae his nest like an ill scar`d bird,And Johnie he took wing in the morning.It was upon an afternoon,Sir Johnie march`d to Preston town;He says, "my lads come lean you down,And we`ll fight the boys in the morning."But when he saw the Highland ladsWi` tartan trews and white cokauds,Wi` swords and guns and rungs and gauds,O Johnie he took wing in the morning.On the morrow when he did rise,He look`d between him and the skies;He saw them wi` their naked thighs,Which fear`d him in the morning.O then he flew into Dunbar,Crying for a man of war;He thought to have pass`d for a rustic tar,And gotten awa in the morning.Sir Johnie into Berwick rade,Just as the devil had been his guide;Gien him the warld he would na stay`dTo foughten the boys in the morning.Says the Berwickers unto Sir John,O what`s become of all your men,In faith, says he, I dinna ken,I left them a` this morning.Says Lord Mark Car, ye are na blate,To bring us the news o` your ain defeat;I think you deserve the back o` the gate,Get out o` my sight this morning.tune: Johnie Cope (297)filename[ JOHNCOPEplay.exe JOHNCOPEARB===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY===
