Hey Johnnie Cope are you wauking yet/
Or are your drums a- beating yet?
If you were wauking I would wait/
Tae gang tae The Coals in the morning.

Cope sent a a Message tae Dunbar/
Said; 'Charlie meet me if you daur/
'And I'll learn you the arts of war/
'If you'll meet me in the morning'

When Charlie looked this letter upon/
He drew his sword the scabbard from/
Come follow me my merry men/
And we'll meet Johnnie Cope in the morning.

When Johnnie Cope he heard o' this/
He thought it wouldna be amiss/
To hae a horse in readiness/
To flee awa' inthe morning.

Fye now Johnnie, get up and run/
The Highland bagpipes mak a din/
It's better tae sleep in a hale skin/
For 'twill be a bloody morning.

When Johnnie Cope tae Dunbar came/
They spiered at him, 'where's a' your men?'
'The Deil confound me gin I ken/
For I left them a this morning.'/

Now Jonnie troth, ye were na blate/
Tae come wi' news o' your ain defeat/
And leave your men in sic a straight/
So early in the morning.

'Faith', quo Johnnie, 'I had sic fegs/
Wi' their claymores and their philabegs/
If I face them again Deil brak ma legs/
So I wish you a' good morning.'
