THE KING’S MUSTER.

Tune—The Auld Wife ayont the fire.

Little wat ye wha’s coming,
Little wat he wha’s coming,
Little wat ye wha’s coming,
Now the King himsel’s coming.

There’s coaches coming, steam-boats lumming,
Targets coming, turtles scumming,
Bow Street, and Lochaber’s coming
Wi pipes to make a braw bumming

Little ken ye wha's coming.
Clans and clowns and a’s coming.

Gurtis and his cook’s coming,
Glengarry and his tail's coming,
Duke and Dungwaessell’s coming,
And walth o’ gaucie bailies coming.

Little wat ye wha’s coming,
Now the King himsel’s coming.

Tartan s coming, muslin’s coming,
Gregarich’s coming, Greenock’s coming.
Here’s the holly badge o’ Drummond,
And there’s a Celt, that’s but a rum one.
