PEACE with AMERICA:
A NEW SCOTCH SONG.
A NEW SCOTCH SONG.
Tune, Nae luck about the houſe.
BUT are ye ſure the news is true?
an' is it really fact?
Have Conway, Burke and Fox, at laſt
laid North upon his back?
There's nae luck about the Court,
there's nae luck at a',
There's little luck attends the war
wi' North America.
BUT are ye ſure the news is true?
an' is it really fact?
Have Conway, Burke and Fox, at laſt
laid North upon his back?
There's nae luck about the Court,
there's nae luck at a',
There's little luck attends the war
wi' North America.
Is this a time to think o' war,
when peace is at the door,
Let's mak peace wi' our brethren brave,
an' fight wi' them no more.
For there's nae luck, &c.
when peace is at the door,
Let's mak peace wi' our brethren brave,
an' fight wi' them no more.
For there's nae luck, &c.
Get up and mak your winnocks clean,
an' light them ane an' a',
For joy that we ſhall quickly ha'e,
peace wi' America.
For there's nae luck, &c.
an' light them ane an' a',
For joy that we ſhall quickly ha'e,
peace wi' America.
For there's nae luck, &c.
We'll now lay down our bayonets;
we'll lay our claymores down,
An' tell our brave Defenſive Band,
that peace is comin' ſoon.
There's nae luck about the houſe
o' Commons,—nane at a';
There can be nane while we hae war
wi' North America.
we'll lay our claymores down,
An' tell our brave Defenſive Band,
that peace is comin' ſoon.
There's nae luck about the houſe
o' Commons,—nane at a';
There can be nane while we hae war
wi' North America.
