lyrics

Donald's gone up the hill hard and hungry,
Donald's come down the hill wild and angry;
Donald will clear the gouk's nest cleverly,
Here's to the king and Donald McGillavry.
Come like a weighbauk, Donald McGillavry,
Come like a weighbauk, Donald McGillavry,
Balance them fair, and balance them cleverly:
Off with the counterfeit, Donald McGillavry.

Donald's come o'er the hill but his tether, man,
As he were mad, or stang'd wi' an ether, man;
When he comes back, there's some will look merrily:
Here's to the king and to Donald McGillavry.
Come like a weaver, Donald McGillavry,
Come like a weaver, Donald McGillavry,
Pack on your back, and elwand sae cleverly;
Up with King James and Donald McGillavry.

Donald's the callan that brooks nae tangleness;
Whigging and prigging and a'newfangleness,
They maun be gane: he winna be baukit, man:
He will have justice, or faith he'll take it, man.
Come like a cobler, Donald McGillavry,
Come like a cobler, Donald McGillavry;
Push about and in and out, thimble them cleverly,
Up with King James and Donald McGillavry.

Donald has foughten with rief and roguery;
Donald had dinner with banes and beggary,
So better it were for Whigs and Whiggery
Meeting the devil than Donald McGillavry.
Come like the devil, Donald McGillavry,
Come like the devil, Donald McGillavry,
Skelp them and scaud them that proved them unbritherly,
Up with King James and Donald McGillavry.

about

Pyrolysis Zaltbommel, Netherlands

Barefooted and using purely acoustic instruments, Pyrolysis breathes the raw, natural chaos of life into
music. With a leading role for nostalgic melodies, they play stormingly fast-paced and energetic songs
perfect for any tavern brawl, but also some darker ballads that reek of rainy days.
