When first my brave Johnie lad came to this town, / He had a blue bonnet that wanted the crown; / But now he has gotten a hat and a feather, / Hey, brave Johnie lad, cock up your beaver!
Cock up your beaver, and cock it fu' sprush, / We'll over the border, and gie them a brush; / There's somebody there we'll teach better behaviour, / Hey, brave Johnie lad, cock up your beaver!
