In cauldrife quarters a' the riicht ;
A' day they feed but sparely.
Now up in the morning's no for me,
Up in the morning early ;
A pennyless purse 1 wad rather dree
Than rise in the morning early.
A cosie house and canty wife,
Aye keep a body cheerly ;
And pantries stowed wi' meat and drink,
They answer unco rarely.
But up in the morning — na, na, na !
Up in the morning early I
The gowans maun gient on bank and brae,
When I rise in the mornin early.
WILL YE 00 TO SHERRAMUIR?
TANNAHILL.
Tune — We'll atoa to Sherramuir, to hand the Whigs in order.
Will ye go to Sherramuir,
Bauld John of Innisture,
There to see the noble Mar,
And his Highland laddies ?
A' the true men o' the north,
Angus, Huntly, and Seaforth,
Scouring on to cross the Forth,
Wi' their white cockadies I
There you'll see the banners flare,
There you'll hear the bagpipes rair,
And the trumpet's deadly blare,
Wi' the cannon's rattle !
