124,
VF AND WAR 'EM A^ WILLIE.
VV HEN we went to the field of war.
And to the weapon-shaw, Willie,
With true design to stand our ground.
And chace our faes awa', Willie,
airds and lords came there bedeen.
And vow gin they were pra', Willie
Up and war 'em a', Willie,
War 'em, war 'em a', Willie.
And when our army w^as drawn up^
The bravest e'er I saw, W^illie,
We did not doubt to rax the rout.
And win the day and a', Willie;
Pipers play'd frae right to left,
'' Fy, fourugh Whigs awa','' Vv^illie.
Up and war, ^c.
But when our standard was set up.
So fierce the wind did bla', Willie,
The golden knop down from the top
Unto ground did fa', Willie
Then second-sighted Sandy said.
We'll do nae good at a, Willie.
Up and war, &c.
