J&B Reel / The Bonawe Highlanders |
| Wha the de’il hae we gotten for a king |
| But a wee, wee German lairdie |
| When we gaed to bring him hame |
| He was delvin' in his yairdie |
| He was sheughing kail an' pu’in' leeks |
| Aye but the hose an' but the breeks |
| Wi' his beggar duds he cleeks |
| Ye wee bit German lairdie |
| He’s clappit doun in our gudeman’s chair |
| This wee bit German lairdie |
| An' he’s brocht forth o' foreign trash |
| An' dibbled them in his yairdie |
| He’s pu’d the rose o' English loons |
| Broke the harp o' Irish clowns |
| Our thistle taps will jag his thumbs |
| Ye wee bit German lairdie |
| Come up amangst our Hieland Hills |
| Ye wee bit German lairdie |
| An' see the Stuart’s lang kail thrive |
| They hae dibbled in our yairdie |
| An' if a stock ye daur to pu' |
| Or haud the yokin' o' a plough |
| We’ll break your sceptre owre your mou' |
| Ye wee bit German lairdie |
| Our hills are steep, our glens are deep |
| Nae fitting for a yairdie |
| Our Norland thistles winna pu' |
| Ye wee bit German lairdie |
| We’ve the trenching blades o' weir |
| Wad prune ye o' your German gear |
| We’ll pass ye 'neath the claymore’s shear |
| Ye feckless German lairdie |
| Scotland, thou’rt ower cauld a hole |
| For nursin' siccan vermin |
| But the very hounds o' the English court |
| They bark, they howl in German |
| So keep thy dibble in thy ain hand |
| Thy spade but an' thy yairdie |
| For wha the de’il now claims your land |
| But a wee, wee German lairdie |
