Seven Nations


Cope Sent a Message From Dunbar 
Sayin Charlie Meet Me If You Dare 
And I'll Learn You the Art If War 
If You'll Meet Me in the Morning

Hey, Now Johnny Are You Wailin Yet 
And Are Your Drums A' Beatin Yet 
If Your Walkin I Would Wait 
You're Goin to the Coals in the Morning

When Charlie Looked the Letter Upon 
He Drew His Sword His Scabbard From 
Follow Me My Merry Men 
And We'll Meet Johnny Cope in the Morning

Hey, Now Johnny Are You Wailin Yet 
And Are Your Drums A' Beatin Yet 
If Your Walkin I Would Wait 
You're Goin to the Coals in the Morning

When Johnny Cope He Heard of This 
He Thought It Wouldn't Be Amiss 
To Have a Horse in Readiness 
To Flee Far Away in the Morning

Go Now Johnny Get Up and Run 
The Highland Pipes Are Makin a Din 
It's Better to Sleep in a Hail Skin 
It Will Be a Bloody Morning

When Johnny Cope to Dunbar Came 
He Asked of Him, "Where's All Your Men?" 
They'll Confound Me Again and Again 
For I Left Them All in the Morning

Hey, Now Johnny You Weren't Too Late 
To Come With News of Your Own Defeat 
And Leave Your Men in Such a State 
So Early in the Morning
