   You think English is strange?   
   Have a try at some Lallans Scots -   
   It is a traditional child's verse.   
      
   A canty wee lassie cried Menzies   
   Speirt, "Dae ye ken whit this thenzies?"   
   Her Maw, wi a gasp,   
   Reponed, "It's a wasp!"   
   An ye'r haudin the end whaur the stenzies   
      
   And here is what is reputed to be the original of, "Johnnie Cope",   
      
   Sir John Cope rade the nor' richt faur,   
   Yit ne'er a rebel he cam naur,   
   Till he laundit at Dunbaur,   
   Richt early in the mornin   
      
   Owerwird:   
      
   Hey Johnnie Cope, are ye wauken yit,   
   Or are ye sleepin A wad wit;   
   haste ye yit up for the drums dae beat,   
   fey Cope raise in the mornin.   
      
   He wrat a challenge frae Dunbaur,   
   Come an fecht me Chairlie gin ye daur;   
   Gin it binna be the chance o war   
   A'll gie ye a merry mornin.   
      
   Whan Chairlie leukit the letter upo'   
   He drew his swuird the scabbart frae -   
   Sae hieven restore tae me ma ain,   
   A'll meet ye, Cope, in the mornin.   
      
   Cope swuir wi mony a bluidy wird   
   That he wad fecht thaim gun an swuird,   
   But he fled frae his nest lik a frichtent bird,   
   An Johnnie he teuk the weeng in the mornin.   
      
   But whan he seen the hieland lads   
   Wi tartan trews an white cockauds,   
   Wi swuirds an guns an rungs an gauds,   
   Johnnie, he teuk weeng in the mornin.   
      
   Sir Johnnie intae Berwick rade,   
   Juist as the deil haed been his guide;   
   Giein him the warld he wadna steyed   
   Tae fochten the boys in the mornin.   
      
   Says Laird Mark Car, ye arna blate,   
   Tae bring us news o yer ain defeat;   
   A think ye deser the back o the gate,   
   Git oot ma sicht this mornin.
