Carl an the king come – [Carl an the king come]

Chorus
Carl an the king come,
Carl an the king come;
Thou shalt dance and I will sing,
Carl an the king come.

An someboie were come again,
Then somebodie maun cross the main,
And every man shall hae his ain,
Carl an the king come.
Chos. Carl an & c.

I trow we swapped for the warse,
We gae the boot and better horse;
And that we'll tell them at the cross,
Carl an the king come.
Chos. Carl an & c.

Coggie, an the king come,
Coggie, an the king come,
I 'se be fou, and thou 'se be toom
Coggie, an the king come.
Chos. Coggie an & c.
