  Though this may be considered a Scotch song, yet mentioning several Northumberland families, warrants its insertion here. Several notes and particulars illustrating it may be found in the History of the Rebellion in the year 1715, by Robert Patten, Priest of Allendale, who, though one of the Rebels, saved his life by being evidence against his associates, and writing, what he called, An Impartial Account of the Rebellion. Little wat ye wha’s coming, Little wat ye wha’s coming, Little wat ye wha’s coming, Long Tommy Lee’s a coming. Duncan’s coming, Donald’s coming, Colin’s coming, Ronald’s coming, Dougal’s coming, Lauchlan’s coming, Alaster and a’s coming. Little wat ye wha’s coming, Jock and Tam and a’s coming. Borland and his men’s coming, The Camerons and McLeans’ coming, The Gordons and McGregors’ coming, A’ the Dunywastles’ coming, Little wat ye wha’s coming, McGilvrey of Drumglass is coming. Wigton’s coming, Nithsdale’s coming, Carnwath’s coming, Kenmure’s coming, Derwentwater and Foster’s coming, Widdrington and Nairn’s coming. Little wat ye wha’s coming, Blyth Cowhill and a’s coming. The Laird of McIntosh is coming, McCarbie and McDonald’s coming, The McKenzies and McPhersons’ coming. A’ the wild McCraws’ coming. Little wat ye wha’s coming, Donald Gun and a’s coming. They gloom, they glowr, they look sae big, At ilka stroke they’ll fell a Whig; They’ll fright the fuds of the Pockpuds, For mony a buttock bare’s coming. Little wat ye wha’s coming. |
