Johnie Lad, Cock Up Your Beaver

(Robert Burns poem / Live on Peel Acres 01-22-04)

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 some folks there we'll teach better behaviour
Hey, brave Johnie lad, cock up your beaver
Hey, brave Johnie lad, cock up your beaver
