Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1858 edition. Excerpt: ...I'll ne'er come hame." When they came to fair London town, Into the courtiers' hall, The lords and knights of fair London town Did him a traitor call. "A traitor! a traitor!" says my lord, "A traitor! how can that be? An it be nae for the keeping five thousand men, To fight for King Jamie. 40 "O all you lords and knights in fair London town, Come out and see me die; O all you lords and knights in fair London town, Be kind to my ladie.

To Skirving is also attributed with great probability the excellent satirical song of Johnnie Cope, or Cope are you rooking yet. The original words are in Ritson, Scolish Songs, ii. 84: another set at p. 82: a third, with alterations and additions by Burns, in Johnson's Museum, p. 242. Allan Cunningham once heard a peasant boast that he could sing Johnnie Cope with all its nineteen variations. See Appendix.
