• The Stoutest Man In The Forty-Twa (Jock McGraw)

Behold I am a soldier bold
and only twenty five years old
a braver warrior never was seen
fae Inverness tae Gretna green

When I was young my father said
he`d put me tae a decent trade
a didnae like that job at aw
so went and joined the forty twa

The wind may blaw, the cock may craw
the rain may rain and the snaw may snaw
but ye`winna frichten Jock Mcgraw
he`s the stoutest man in the forty twa

The sergent when he listed me
he winked his ee an then say`s he
a man like you sae stout and tall
can ne`r be killed by a cannonball

The captain then when he cam roond
and looked me up and looked me doon
then turnin tae the sergeant awa ye scamp
ye`ve lested the bleachfield oot on tramp

The wind may blaw, the cock may craw
the rain may rain and the snaw may snaw
but ye`winna frichten Jock Mcgraw
he`s the stoutest man in the forty twa

At oor last fecht across the sea
the general he sends efter me
when I get there wi my big gun
the battle of course it was won

The enemy aw run awa
they were feert at Jock McGraw
a man like me sae tall and neat
ye ken yersel could never be beat

The wind may blaw, the cock may craw
the rain may rain and the snaw may snaw
but ye`winna frichten Jock Mcgraw
he`s the stoutest man in the forty twa

The king then held a grand review
we numbered a thoosand and sixty two
the kiltie lads come marchin past
and Jock McGraw came marching last

The royal pairty grabbed their sticks
and all began tae stretch their necks
cries the king to the colonel upon my soul
I took thet man for a telegraph pole

The wind may blaw, the cock may craw
the rain may rain and the snaw may snaw
but ye`winna frichten Jock Mcgraw
he`s the stoutest man in the forty twa
