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


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


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


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


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


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

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


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


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


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

Come like the devil, Donald MacGillavry;

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