Carl, an the King Come
(Robert Burns)

chorus:
     Carl, an the King come,
     Carl, an the King come;
     Thou shalt dance and I wilt sing,
     Carl, an the King come!

An somebodie were come again,
Then somebodie maun cross the main,
And every man shall hae his ain,
  Carl, an the King come!

I trow we swapped for the warse:
We gae the boot and better horse,
An that we'll tell them at the Cross,
  Carl, an the King come!

Coggie, an the King come,
Coggie, an the King come,
I'll be fou, an thou'se be toom,
  Coggie, an the King come!

tune: Carl and the king come (299)
