Adam Skirving - JOHNNIE COPE' - poem
Description:
JOHNNIE COPE by Adam Skirving read by Alan Cumming rnaudioproductions for http://www.ipodity.com/ http://www.allcast.co.uk/ Adam Skirving (1719 -- April, 1803), Scottish song writer, was born in Haddington. He became a farmer at Garleton, near Haddington, and died in April 1803. He was buried at Athelstaneford. His reputation rests on two Jacobite ballads on the Battle of Prestonpans, one of which, Hey, Johnnie Cope, are Ye Waking Yet?, whilst very far from an accurate narrative, is popular enough to be found in many collections of Scottish songs. The Jacobite Army under Bonnie Prince Charlie routed Hanoverian forces commanded by Sir John Cope at the Battle of Prestonpans on 21 September 1745 giving rise to this popular song. Hey Johnnie Cope are ye waukin' yet? Or are your drums a-beating yet? If ye were waukin' I wad waitto gang to the coals i' the morning. Cope sent a letter frae Dunbar Charlie, meet me an' ye daur,and I'll learn you the art o' war, If you'll meet me in the morning. When Charlie look'd the letter upon he drew his sword the scabbard from; Come follow me, my merry merry men and we'll meet Johnnie Cope in the morning. Now Johnnie, be as good's your word Come let us try baith fire and sword and dinna flee away like a frighted bird that's chased frae its nest in the morning. When Johnnie Cope he heard o' this he thought it wadna be amiss to hae a horse in readiness to flee awa' in the morning. Fy now, Johnnie get up and rin, The Highland bagpipes mak' a din; It is best to sleep in a hale skin or 'twill be a bluidy morning. When Johnnie Cope to Dunbar came,they speir'd at him, Where's a' your men? The deil confound me gin I ken,for I left them a' i' the morning. Now, Johnnie troth ye are na blate to come wi, news o' your ain defeat and leave your men in sic a strait sae early in the morning. Oh! faith quo' Johnnie, I got sic flegs, Wi' their claymores and philabegs; If I face them again, deil brak my legs - So I wish you a gude morning.
