Johnny Cope (Live)
Johnny Cope (Traditional, arranged by Kirk McLeod)
Cope sent a message from Dunbar Saying Charlie meet me if you dare And I'll learn you the art of war If you'll meet me in the morning
Hey, now Johnny are you wailin' yet And are your drums a beatin' yet If you're walkin' I would wait You're goin' to the coals in the morning
When Charlie looked the letter upon He drew his sword his scabbard from Follow me my merry men And we'll meet Johnny Cope in the morning
Hey, now Johnny are you wailin' yet And are your drums a beatin' yet If you're walkin' I would wait You're goin' to the coals in the morning Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
When Johnny Cope he heard of this He thought it wouldn't be amiss To have a horse in readiness To flee far away in the morning
Go no Johnny get up and run The highland 'pipes are making a din It's better to sleep in a hail skin It will be a bloody morning
When Johnny Cope to Dunbar came He asked of him, 'where's all your men?' They'll confound me again and again For I left them all in the morning
Hey now Johnny you weren't too late To come with news of your own defeat And leave your men in such a state So early in the morning.
