PAISLEY BURGH ELECTION, 1900
Hip, hip, hooray! We’ve won the day;
The Tory loons are scattered;
Their big-hearted freen’ was beat yestreen –
Their dearest hopes were shattered.
All along the line our lights did shine –
Peace, Retrenchment, and Reform;
For Freedom’s cause and mair righteous laws,
We rode safely through the storm.
Our chieftain Dunn well stood his grun’,
And made Captain Swinton sorry;
Wi’ the best o’ skill our trusty Bill
Vanquished the famous Tory.
