spend the night in mirth and glee, And cheer - fu' sing a - lang wi' me, The reel o' Tul - loch -go- rum.
0, Tulloeligoruni's my delight,
It gars us a' in ane unite,
And ony suniph that keeps up spite,
In conscience, I abhor him ;
For blythe and merry we'll be a',
Blythe and merry, blythe and merry,
Blythe and merry we'll be a',
And make a happy quorum.
For blythe and merry we'll be a',
As lang as we hae breath to draw,
And dance till we be like to fa',
The reel o' Tullochgorum.
What needs there be sae great a fraise,
Wi' dringing dull Italian lays,
I wadna gie our ain strathspeys
For half a hunder score o' them.
They're dowf and dowie at the best,
Dowf and dowie, dowf and dowie,
Dowf and dowie at the best,
Wi' a' their variorum.
They're dowf and dowie at the best,
Their allegros, and a' the rest,
They canna please a Highland taste,
Compared wi' Tullochgorum.
Let warldly worms their minds oppress
Wi' fears o' want and double cess,
And sullen sots themselves distress
Wi' keeping up decorum.
Shall we sae sour and sulky sit ?
Sour and sulky, sour and sulky,
Sour aud sulky shall we sit,
Like auld Philosophorum ?
Shall we sae sour and sulky sit,
Wi' neither sense, nor mirth, nor wit,
Nor ever rise to shake a fit
To the reel o' Tullochgorum ?
May choicest blessings aye attend
Each honest open-hearted friend,
And calm and quiet be his end,
And a' that's gude watch o'er him.
May peace and plenty be his lot,
Peace and plenty, peace and plenty,
Peace and plenty be his lot,
And dainties a great store o' them.
May peace and plenty be his lot,
Unstain'd by any vicious spot,
And may he never want a groat,
That's fond o' Tullochgorum !
But for the silly fawning fool.
Who loves to be oppression's tool,
May envy gnaw his rotten soul,
And discontent devour him !
May dool and sorrow be his chance,
Dool and sorrow, dool and sorrow,
Dool and sorrow be his chance,
And nane say, Wae's me, for him.
May dool and sorrow be his chance,
And a' the ills that come frae France,
Whae'er he be that winna dance
The reel o' Tullochgorum.
" Tullochooiutm." The composer of the tune, a reel, is not known. Mr. Stenhouse says it is derived from an old
Scottish song-tune, printed in Craig's Collection in 1730. The words were written by the Rev. John Skinner, pastor
of the Episcopal Chapel at Langside, near Peterhead, Aberdeenshire. They were first printed in the Scots Weekly
Magazine for April 177 6, and were enthusiastically termed by Burns, the " first of songs !" The copy here given is
that with the reverend author's last corrections, as printed in Museum Illustrations, vol. iii. pp. 283, 284. Mr.
Skinner died in 1807, aged 86. See Museum Illustrations, vol. iii. pp. 281-284.
