COCK UP YOUR BEAVER.
TUNE—'COCK UP YOUR BEAVER.'
When first my brave Johnnie ladCame to this town,He had a blue bonnetThat wanted the crown;But now he has gottenA hat and a feather,—Hey, brave Johnnie lad,Cock up your beaver!
Cock up your beaver,And cock it fu' sprush,We'll over the borderAnd gie them a brush;There's somebody thereWe'll teach better behaviour—Hey, brave Johnnie lad,Cock up your beaver!
