Cock up Your Beaver - The Real McKenzies

When first my brave Johnie lad came to this town

He had a blue bonnet that wanted the crown

But now he has gotten a hat and a feather

Hey, brave Johnie lad, cock up your beaver!

Cock up your beaver, and cock it fu' sprush

We’ll over the border, and give them a brush

There’s somebody there we’ll teach better behavior

He, brave Johnie lad, cock up your beaver!
