| 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 give them a brush
|
| There’s somebody there we’ll teach better behavior
|
| He, brave Johnie lad, cock up your beaver!
