Stewart: lead vocals, tenor banjo, whistle Phil Cunningham: accordion, piano, synthesizers, whistle, cittern, vocals John Cunningham: fiddle, vocals Gordon Jones: guitar, bodhran, vocals Martin Hadden: bass guitar, keyboards, guitar, vocals Donald come up the hill hard and hungry, Donalds come doon the hill wild and angry; Donald will clear the gouk's nest cleverly, [gouk = cuckoo] Here's to King James and to Donald McGillavry. Come like a weigh-bauk, Donald McGillavry, [weigh-bauk = scales] Come like a weigh-bauk, Donald McGillavry, Balance them fair, and balance them cleverly: Off wi' the counterfeit, Donald McGillavry. Donald come o'er the hill but his tether, man, As he were wud, or stang'd wi' an ether, man; [wud = mad][ stung by an adder] When he comes back, there's some will look merrily: Here's to King James and to Donald McGillavry. Come like a weaver, Donald McGillavry, Come like a weaver, Donald McGillavry, Push about, and in and out, thimble them cleverly Up wi King James and with Donald McGillavry 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 McGillavry. Come like a tailor, Donald McGillavry, Come like a tailor, Donald McGillavry, Push about, and in and out, thimble them cleverly, Up wi King James and with Donald McGillavry. 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 will hae justice, or faith he'll tak it, man. Come like a cobler, Donald McGillavry, Come like a cobler, Donald McGillavry; Beat them, and bore them, and lingel them cleverly, [lingel = shoemaker's thread] Up wi' King James and wi' Donald McGillavry. 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 hes flyting and fretting, man. [flyt = scold] Come like the devil, Donald McGillavry, Come like the devil, Donald McGillavry; [skelp = chastise] Skelp them and scaud them that proved sae unbritherly, [scaud = scold] Up wi' King James and wi' Donald McGillavry!
