johnie lad, cock up your beaver
  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!
