When first my brave Johnnie lad came to this town, He had a blue bonnet that wanted the crown; But now he has gotten a hat and a feather, Hey, brave Johnnie lad, cock up your beaver! Cock up your beaver, and cock it fu' sprush, We'll over the border, and gie them a brush; There's somebody there we'll teach better behaviour, Hey, brave Johnnie lad, cock up your beaver! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TENDER BUTTONS: COLORED HATS by GERTRUDE STEIN THE QUANGLE WANGLE'S HAT by EDWARD LEAR SHE LOOKS BEYOND TO-MORROW by RUTH FITCH BARTLETT DRAB BONNETS by BERNARD BARTON TO LADY CHARLOTTYE GORDON; DRESSED IN A TARTAN SCOTCH BONNET by JAMES BEATTIE MOTHER'S BONNET by NATHALIA CRANE ROSA'S CURIOSITY by THOMAS AUGUSTINE DALY A BARD'S EPITAPH by ROBERT BURNS A POET'S WELCOME TO HIS LOVE-BEGOTTEN DAUGHTER by ROBERT BURNS |
