LYRICS :The Bonnets o' Bonnie Dundee :1. Tae the lairds i' convention t'was Claverhouse spoke :E'er the Kings crown go down, there'll be crowns to be broke; :Then let each cavalier who loves honour and me :Come follow the bonnets o' bonnie Dundee. Chorus: :Come fill up my cup, come fill up my can, :Saddle my horses and call out my men. :And it's Ho! for the west port and let us gae free, :And we'll follow the bonnets o' bonnie Dundee! :2. Dundee he is mounted, he rides doon the street, :The bells they ring backwards, the drums they are beat, :But the Provost, (douce man!), says ;Just e'en let him be :For the toon is well rid of that de'il o' Dundee. Chorus: :3. There are hills beyond Pentland and lands beyond Forth, :Be there lairds i' the south, there are chiefs i' the north! :There are brave Duniewassals, three thousand times three :Will cry "Hoy!" for the bonnets o' bonnie Dundee. Chorus: :4. Then awa' tae the hills, tae the lea, tae the rocks :E'er I own a usurper, I'll couch wi' the fox! :Then tremble, false Whigs, in the midst o' your glee :Ye hae no seen the last o' my bonnets and me. Chorus: SEE ALSO Authorized Marches Of The Canadian Forces |
