But the proud Game-Cock on midden-top,
Sings Cocky-leary-law.
Cocky-leary-law,
Cocky-leary-law:
He claps his wings, in proud disdain,
Sings Cocky-leary-law.

How lovingly he tents his flock,
And courts them ane and a’!
Then chears them up with his proud sang,
Sings Cocky-leary-law.
Cocky-leary-law,
Cocky-leary-law:
Then chears them up with his proud sang,
Sings Cocky-leary-law.

The Sparrow chirps on the house-top,
The Ravin and Jackdaw,
But the noble bird, in spite of a’,
Sings Cocky-leary-law.
Cocky-leary-law,
Cocky leavy-law:
But the noble bird, in spite of a’,
Sings Cocky-leary-law.

The Magpye is a cunning bird,
The Dow's without a gaw,
But there’s nane has courage to dispute
With Cocky-leary-law.
Cocky-leary-law,
Cocky-leary-law:
But there's nane has courage to dispute
With Cocky-leary-law.
