DONALD MАСGILLAVRY
(народная шотландская)
 
Donald's gane up the hill hard and hungry,
Donald comes down the hill wild and angry;
Donald will clear the gouk's nest cleverly,
Here's to the king and Donald Macgillavry.
Come like a weighbauk, Donald Macgillavry,
Come like a weighbauk, Donald Macgillavry,
 Balance them fair, and balance them cleverly:
 Off with the counterfeit, Donald Macgillavry.

 Donald's run 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 Donald Macgillavry.

 Come like a weaver, Donald Macgillavry,
 Come like a weaver, Donald Macgillavry,
 Pack on ynur 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,
 Here's to 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 with 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!
