DONALD CAIRD.
Donald Caird's come again :
Donald Caird's some again:
Tell the news in burgh and glen,
Donald Caird's come again.
Donald Cuird can lilt and sing,
Blythely dance the Highland fling
Drink till the guidman be blind;
Fleece till the guidewife be kind;—
Hoop a liglin, cloot a pan,
Crack a pow wi' ony man
Tell the news in burgh and glen,
Donald Caird's come again.
Donald Caird can wire a maukin,
Kens the wiles o dun deer stawkin;
Leisters kipper, makes a shift
To shoot moorfowl in the drift.
Water bailiffs, rangers, keepers,
He can wauk when you are sleepers:
Not for bountith or reward
Dare you mill,wi' Donald Caird.
Donald Caird can drink a gill
Fast as hostle wite can fill;
Ilka ane that sells good liquor
Kens how Donald bends a bicker.
When he's fou he's stout and saucy
