Cope sent a challenge fei Dunbar ""Sayins Cherlie, meet me an ye dare, I'll learn you the arts of war If you meet me in the morning."" Charlie looked the letter upon He drew his sword his scabbard from, ""Follow me, my merry men, We'll meet Johnnie Cope in the morning!"" Hey, Johnnie Cope, are you waking yet, Are your drums a-beating yet? If ye were waking, I would wait To gang to the coals in the morning. Come now Johnnie, be as good as your word come let us try with fire and sword And didnt flee like a aflected bird That's chased from its nest in the morning Johnnie Cope he heard of this He said to himself it would not be amiss To have a saddle n horse in readiness To flee awall in the morning (chorus) Oh Johnnie, now get scamperin' The Highland bagpipes mak a den It's better to sleep in your whole skin It'll be a bloody morning. Johnnie Cope to Dunbar came The asked of him, ""Where are your men?"" ""The divil confound me gin I ken, For I left them all in the morning."" 'Now Johnnie, troth, ye werena blate To come wi' news o' your ain defeat, And leave your men in sic a strait Sae early in the morning. 'I' faith,' quo' Johnnie, 'I got sic flegs Wi' their claymores an' philabegs; If I face them again, deil break my legs! Sae I wish s you a' gude morning'.
