Cope sent a challenge from Dunbar
\nCharlie, meet me an ye dare
\nAnd I’ll teach you the art of war
\nIf you meet me in the morning.
\nWhen Charlie looked this letter upon
\nHe drew his sword his scabbard from
\nSaid, “Follow me, my merry men
\nWe’ll meet Johnnie Cope in the morning
\n
\nChorus
\nHey, Johnnie Cope, are you waking yet,
\nAre your drums a-beating yet
\nIf you were waking, I would wait
\nTo gang to the coals in the morning.

Come now Johnnie, be as good as your word Cope sent a challenge from Dunbar Charlie, meet me an ye dare And I’ll teach you the art of war If you meet me in the morning. When Charlie looked this letter upon He drew his sword his scabbard from Said, “Follow me, my merry men We’ll meet Johnnie Cope in the morning Chorus Hey, … <\/p>\n
\nCome try your faith with fire and sword
\nAnd don’t flee away like a frightened bird
\nThat’s chased from its nest in the morning
\nWhen Johnnie Cope he heard of this
\nHe thought it would not be amiss
\nTo hae a horse in readiness
\nTae gang awa in the morning
\n
\nCome now Johnnie, now get scamperin’
\nThe Highland bagpipes make a din
\nIt’s best to sleep in your Hale skin
\nIt’ll be a bloody morning.
\nWhen Johnnie Cope to Berwick came
\nThey asked of him, where are your men
\nThe deil confound me I dinna ken,
\nFor I left them all in the morning. <\/strong>
