[verse]
F#m                        F#m
Donald's gane up the hill hard and hungry,
F#m                         E
Donald comes down the hill wild and angry;
F#m                    F#m
Donald will clear the gouk's nest cleverly,
D              E         F#m        E
Here's to king James and Donald MacGillavry!


F#m                     F#m
Come like a weighbauk, Donald MacGillavry,
F#m                     E
Come like a weighbauk, Donald MacGillavry,
F#m                     F#m
Balance them fair, and balance them cleverly:
D          E            F#m        E
Off wi'the counterfeit, Donald MacGillavry!


F#m                         F#m
Donald's run o'er the hill but his tether, man,
F#m                 E
As he were wud, or stang'd wi' an ether, man;
F#m                          F#m
When he comes back, there's some will look merrily:
D              E         F#m        E
Here's to King James and Donald MacGillavry!


F#m                  F#m
Come like a weaver, Donald MacGillavry,
F#m                  E
Come like a weaver, Donald MacGillavry,
F#m                     F#m
Pack on your back, and elwand sae cleverly;
D             E           F#m        E
Gie them full measure, my Donald MacGillavry.


F#m                      F#m
Donald has foughten wi' rief and roguery;
F#m                     E
Donald has dinner'd wi banes and beggary,
F#m                 F#m
Better it were for Whigs and Whiggery
D           E          F#m        E
Meeting the devil than Donald MacGillavry.


F#m                  F#m
Come like a tailor, Donald MacGillavry,
F#m                  E
Come like a tailor, Donald MacGillavry,
F#m                      F#m
Push about, in and out, thimble them cleverly,
D              E         F#m        E
Here's to King James and Donald MacGillavry.

F#m                       F#m
Donald's the callan that brooks nae tangleness;
F#m                        E
Whigging and prigging and a'newfangleness,
F#m                    F#m
They maun be gane: he winna be baukit, man:
D           E           F#m          E
He maun hae justice, or faith he'll tak it, man.


F#m                   F#m
Come like a cobbler, Donald MacGillavry,
F#m                   E
Come like a cobbler, Donald MacGillavry;
F#m                            F#m
Beat them, and bore them, and lingel them cleverly,
D           E         F#m        E
Up wi' King James and Donald MacGillavry.


F#m                   F#m
Donald was mumpit wi mirds and mockery;
F#m                     E
Donald was blinded wi' blads o' property;
F#m                  F#m
Arles ran high, but makings were naething, man,
D         E         F#m          E
Lord, how Donald is flyting and fretting, man.


(F#m) N.C.
Come like the devil, Donald MacGillavry,

Come like the devil, Donald MacGillavry;

Skelp them and scaud them that proved sae unbritherly,
                               F#m
Up wi King James and Donald MacGillavry!
