Aikendrum

Lyrics

Ken ye how a Whig can fight Aikendrum, Aikendrum? Ken ye how a Whig can fight, Aikendrum? He can fight the hero bright With his heels and armour light And the wind of heavenly night Aikendrum, Aikendrum Is not Rowley in the right, Aikendrum? Did ye hear o' Sunderland Aikendrum, Aikendrum? Did ye hear o' Sunderland, Aikendrum? That man o' high command Who has sworn to clear the land He has vanished from our strand Aikendrum, Aikendrum Or the eel has ta'en the sand, Aikendrum Donald's running round and round Aikendrum, Aikendrum Donald's running round and round, Aikendrum But the chief cannot be found And the Dutchmen they are drowned And King Jamie he is crowned Aikendrum, Aikendrum But the dogs will get a stound, Aikendrum We have heard o' Whigs galore Aikendrum, Aikendrum We have heard o' Whigs galore, Aikendrum But we've sought the country o'er With cannon and claymore And still they are before Aikendrum, Aikendrum We may seek forever more, Aikendrum
