Aikendrum - Ewan MacColl
Ken ye how a Whig can fight Aikendrum Aikendrum
Ken ye how a Whig can fight Aikendrum
He can fight the hero bright
With his heels and armour tight
And the wind of heavenly night Aikendrum Aikendrum
Is not Rowley in the right Aikendrum
Did ye hear of Sunderland Aikendrum Aikendrum
Did ye hear of Sunderland Aikendrum
That man of high command
Who has sworn to clear the land
He has vanished from our strand
Aikendrum Aikendrum
Or the eel has ta'en the sand Aikendrum
Donald's running 'round and 'round
Aikendrum Aikendrum
Donald's running 'round and 'round Aikendrum
But the Chief cannot be found
And the Dutchmen they are drowned
And King Jaime he is crowned Aikendrum Aikendrum
But the dogs will get a stound Aikendrum
We have heard of Whigs galore
Aikendrum Aikendrum
We have heard of Whigs galore Aikendrum
But we've sought the country o'er
With cannon and claymore
And still they are before Aikendrum Aikendrum
We may seek forevermore Aikendrum
Ken ye how to gain a Whig Aikendrum Aikendrum
Ken ye how to gain a Whig Aikendrum
Look Jolly blythe and big
Take his ain blest side and prig
And the poor worm-eaten Whig
Aikendrum Aikendrum
For opposition's sake you will win
