March, march ! wliy the deil clinna ye march ?
Stand to your arms, my lads ; fight in good order.
Front about, ye musketeers all,
Till ye come to the English border.

True gospel to maintain ;
The parliament 's blythe to see us a-coming —

When you have crossed the Tweed,
Will faint to hear your sanctified drumming. 1 ]
March, march ! &c.
When to the kirk we come,
