Pyrolysis - Donald McGillavry (Live)

We played this Traditional about the Scottish independence War (FREEDOM) as a speedfolk version. Filmed live at the EP release party of the Royals Spuds, December 29 2018 at Fort 33, Leusden, Netherlands. We had a blast - Thanks a lot!

Also thanks to Marcel (and Cora) Uithoof for recording video, Lucas Freriks (LoewieTunez Productions) for mixing, Loek Deen for live mixing and audio recording, Robbert Hees for light design and all the crew of Fort 33!

This song will also be featured on our new album (blablabla, sell out blabla) that's to be released June 2019 and will titled Daylight is Fading!


LYRICS:
Donald's gone up the hill hard and hungry,
Donald's come down the hill wild and angry;
Donald will clear the gouk's nest cleverly,
Here's to the king and Donald Mcgillavry.
Come like a weighbauk, Donald Mcgillavry,
Come like a weighbauk, Donald Mcgillavry,
Balance them fair, and balance them cleverly:
Off wi'the counterfeit, Donald Mcgillavry.

Donald's come o'er the hill but his tether, man,
As he were mad, or stang'd wi' an ether, man;
When he comes back, there's some will look merrily:
Here's to King James and Donald Mcgillavry.
Come like a weaver, Donald Mcgillavry,
Come like a weaver, Donald Mcgillavry,
Pack on your back, and elwand sae cleverly;
Up wi' King James and Donald Mcgillavry.

Donald's the callan that brooks nae tangleness;
Whigging and prigging and a'newfangleness,
They maun be gane: he winna be baukit, man:
He will have justice, or faith he'll take it, man.
Come like a cobler, Donald Mcgillavry,
Come like a cobler, Donald Mcgillavry;
Push about, in and out, thimble them cleverly,
Up wi' King James and Donald Mcgillavry.

Donald has foughten wi' rief and roguery;
Donald had dinner wi banes and beggary,
Better it were for Whigs and Whiggery
Meeting the devil than Donald Mcgillavry.
Come like the devil, Donald Mcgillavry,
Come like the devil, Donald Mcgillavry,
Skelp them and scaud them that proved them unbritherly,
Up with King James and Donald Mcgillavry.
