ations	A
An' ye wha leather rax an' draw	B
Of a' denominations	A
Swith to the Ligh Kirk ane an' a'	C
An' there tak up your stations	A
Then aff to Begbie's in a raw	D
An' pour divine libations	A
For joy this day	E
	-
	-
Curst Common sense that imp o' hell	F
Cam in wi' Maggie Lauder	G
But Oliphant aft made her yell	F
An' Russell sair misca'd her	G
This day Mackinlay taks the flail	H
An' he's the boy will blaud her	G
He'll clap a shangan on her tail	H
An' set the bairns to daud her	G
Wi' dirt this day	E
	-
	-
Mak haste an' turn King David owre	G
And lilt wi' holy clangor	G
O' double verse come gie us four	G
An' skirl up the Bangor	G
This day the kirk kicks up a stoure	G
Nae mair the knaves shall wrang her	G
For Heresy is in her pow'r	G
And gloriously she'll whang her	G
Wi' pith this day	E
	-
	-
Come let a proper text be read	I
An' touch it aff wi' vigour	G
How graceless Ham leugh at his dad	J
Which made Canaan a nigger	G
Or Phineas drove the murdering blade	K
Wi' whore abhorring rigour	G
Or Zipporah the scauldin jad	K
Was like a bluidy tiger	G
I' th' inn that day	K
	-
	-
There try his mettle on the creed	K
An' bind him down wi' caution	L
That stipend is a carnal weed	K
He taks by for the fashion	L
And gie him o'er the flock to feed	K
And punish each transgression	L
Especial rams that cross the breed	K
Gie them sufficient threshin	L
Spare them nae day	K
	-
	-
Now auld Kilmarnock cock thy tail	H
An' toss thy horns fu' canty	K
Nae mair thou'lt rowt out owre the dale	H
Because thy pasture's scanty	K
For lapfu's large o' gospel kail	H
Shall fill thy crib in plenty	K
An' runts o' grace the pick an' wale	H
No gi'en by way o' dainty	K
But ilka day	K
	-
	-
Nae mair by Babel's streams we'll weep	M
To think upon our Zion	L
And hing our fiddles up to sleep	M
Like baby clouts a dryin	L
Come screw the pegs wi' tunefu' cheep	M
And o'er the thairms be tryin	L
Oh rare to see our elbucks wheep	M
And a' like lamb tails flyin	L
Fu' fast this day	K
	-
	-
Lang Patronage with rod o' airn	L
Has shor'd the Kirk's undoin	L
As lately Fenwick sair forfairn	L
Has proven to its ruin	L
Our patron honest man Glencairn	L
He saw mischief was brewin	L
An' like a godly elect bairn	L
He's waled us out a true ane	L
And sound this day	K
	-
	-
Now Robertson harangue nae mair	G
But steek your gab for ever	G
Or try the wicked town of Ayr	G
For there they'll think you clever	G
Or nae reflection on your lear	G
Ye may commence a shaver	G
Or to the Netherton repair	G
An' turn a carpet weaver	G
Aff hand this day	K
	-
	-
Mu'trie and you were just a match	N
We never had sic twa drones	A
Auld Hornie did the Laigh Kirk watch	O
Just like a winkin baudrons	A
And aye he catch'd the tither wretch	O
To fry them in his caudrons	A
But now his Honour maun detach	O
Wi' a' his brimstone squadrons	A
Fast fast this day	K
	-
	-
See see auld Orthodoxy's faes	A
She's swingein thro' the city	K
Hark how the nine tail'd cat she plays	A
I vow it's unco pretty	K
There Learning with his Greekish face	A
Grunts out some Latin ditty	K
And Common sense is gaun she says	A
To mak to Jamie Beattie	K
Her plaint this day	K
	-
	-
But there's Morality himsel'	H
Embracing all opinions	A
Hear how he gies the tither yell	H
Between his twa companions	A
See how she peels the skin an' fell	H
As ane were peelin onions	A
Now there they're packed aff to hell	H
An' banish'd our dominions	A
Henceforth this day	K
	-
	-
O happy day rejoice rejoice	A
Come bouse about the porter	G
Morality's demure decoys	A
Shall here nae mair find quarter	G
Mackinlay Russell are the boys	A
That heresy can torture	G
They'll gie her on a rape a hoyse	A
And cowe her measure shorter	G
By th' head some day	K
	-
	-
Come bring the tither mutchkin in	L
And here's for a conclusion	L
To ev'ry New Light mother's son	L
From this time forth Confusion	L
If mair they deave us wi' their din	L
Or Patronage intrusion	L
We'll light a spunk and ev'ry skin	L
We'll rin them aff in fusion	L
Like oil some day	K
