A poem by Robert Burns

Johnie Lad, Cock Up Your Beaver

________________________________________________
Title:     Johnie Lad, Cock Up Your Beaver
Author: Robert Burns [More Titles by Burns]

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







[The end]
Robert Burns's poem: Johnie Lad, Cock Up Your Beaver
