Valiant soldier

Herſel' ha'e a ſhort cot pi pought,
no trail her feets at rin, Mattam,
A cutty fark of cood harn-ſheet
my mitter he be ſpin, Mattam,
Had awa', had awa',
had awa' frae me, Donald ;
Gae hame and hap your naked houghs,
and faſh nae mair wi' me, Donald.

Ye's ne'er be bidden work a turn
at ony kind o' ſpin, Mattam,
But ſhug your leno in a ſkull,
and tidel Highland ſang, Mattam.
Had awa', had awa',
had awa' frae me, Donald ;
Your jogging ſkulls and Highland ſangs
will ſound but harſh wi' me, Donald.

In ta morning, when him riſe,
ye's get freſh whey for tea, Mattam ;
Sweet milk and ream as much you pleaſe,
far cheaper than Pohea, Mattam.
Had awa', had awa',
had awa, frae me, Donald ;
I winna quite my morning's tea,
your whey will ne'er agree, Donald.

Haper Gallic ye's pe learn ,
an' t'at's ta ponny ſpeak, Mattam ;
Ye's get a ſheeſe an' putter-kirn,
come wi' me gin ye like, Mattam,
Had awa' had awa',
had awa frae me, Donald ;
