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


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


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


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


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


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

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


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


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


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

Come like the devil, Donald MacGillavry;

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