30. Tho’you hoist your tlagjudi of
You’ll firuj. their eomage none the less.
We’ll meet you in the highland dress.
Among Noghty glens in the morning.
31. So may their cattle sell, and country thrive.
To be as happy men as now alive,
And may they brew their whisky, two to five
Among the Noghfy glens in the morning.
32. And if good hearted men ik? but pass by»
They are the lads will not deny,
To_give them a drink, if they he dry.
Among Noghty glens in the morning.
33. But none need be dry,- there are good springs,
The Lark and Linnet iu it sings,
There’s no preventive in it reigns,
They tied from it in the morning.
21. So when the Preventives from Glen Noghty went
To survey Glen Carry thev were bent,
But they wish'd tout they had ne’er been sent.
To survey these gk-ns in the morning.
33. Torchere convened Glen Carry men great stor*'
Their guns they did like thunder roar.
And frighted the Preventives sore.
Away from their glens in the morning,
36. So the Preventives went unto Culbleau,
And thought to ruin the country dean.
But the country lads they met them keen.
In the braes of Cromar in the morning.
37. The hardy lads that’s in Cromar,
They let them see the art of wa,r,
And made them run both fast and far,
Away from their glens in the morning.
38. The Dee-side lads nre valiant men.
They made them run from hill and glen.
Just as a fox runs to his den, ,
When the hunter pursues in the morning.
$9. The Cabradi lads they made them run,
Tho’ at them scarcely fired a gun,
They let them know it was not am,
Tc etwvey qu the Sunday morning..
