To the Lords o’ convention ‘twas Claverhouse spoke
 
 6    6    5     6    6   5    6    5    -3   4  -4   4 
E’er the Kings crown go down there are crowns to be broke

So each cavalier that loves honour and me

Let him follow the bonnets o’ Bonnie Dundee

Come fill up my cup, come fill up my can

Come saddle my horses and call out my men

Unhook the WestPort and let us gae free

For it’s up with the bonnets o’ Bonnie Dundee.
