Johnie Lad, Cock Up Your Beaver
Language:
English
When first my brave Johnie 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 Johnie 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 Johnie lad, cock up your beaver!

Der Rekrut
Language:

Sonst kam mein Johnnie zur Stadt vom Land
In schäbiger Mütze mit schäbigem Rand!
Nun hat er 'nen Hut, die Feder darüber,
Juchhei, braver Johnnie, stutz' auf deinen Biber!
Stutz' deinen Biber und stutz' ihn mir fein,
's geht über die Grenze durch feindliche Reih'n!
Dort pflegen die Kugeln hinüber, herüber,
Juchhei, braver Johnnie, stutz' auf deinen Biber!
Pfeifen die Kugeln um das Gesicht,
So denk an dein Mädchen und fürchte dich nicht!
Und bringst auch 'nen Hieb mit auf der Wange querüber,
Juchhei, braver Johnnie, ich hab' dich nur lieber!
