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 tae the king and Donald Macgillavry

Come like a weigh-bauk, Donald Macgillavry

Come like a weigh-bauk, Donald Macgillavry

Balance them fair, and balance them cleverly

Off wi’ 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 tae King James and Donald Macgillavry

Come like a weaver, Donald Macgillavry

Come like a weaver, Donald Macgillavry

Pack on your back, an elwand sae cleverly

Gie them full measure, my Donald Macgillavry

Donald has foughten wi’ reif and roguery

Donald has dinner’d wi’ banes and beggery

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 tae 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 wi’ King James and Donald Macgillavry

Donald was mumpit wi’ mirds and mockery

Donald was blindid wi’ blads o’ property

Arles ran high, but makings war naething, man

Lord, how Donald is flyting and fretting, man

Come like the devil, Donald Macgillavry

Come like the devil, Donald Macgillavry

Skelp them an’ scaud them that prov’d sae unbritherly

Up wi’ King James and Donald Macgillavry.
