A Country Boy Can Survive
Hank Williams Jr.
 
To understand political power right, and derive it from its original, we must consider, what state all men are naturally in...
 
Johnnie Cope/The Atholl Highlanders
The Tannahill Weavers
 
...and that is, a state of perfect freedom to order their actions, and dispose of their possessions and persons as they think fit...
 
within the bounds of the law of nature, without asking leave, or depending upon the will of any other man.
 
A state also of equality, wherein all the power and jurisdiction is reciprocal, no one having more than another;
 
Jock sent a letter tae Dunbar
Sayin' Cherlie meet me gin ye daur
It's I'll learn ye the erts o' war
If ye meet me here in the morning
 
there being nothing more evident, than that creatures of the same species and rank, promiscuously born to all the same advantages of nature, and the use of the same faculties,
 
Cherlie read the letter upon
He drew his sword its scabbard from
Sayin' follow me my merry men
And we'll meet Johnny Cope in the morning
 
should also be equal one amongst another without subordination or subjection,
 
Hey Johnnie Cope are ye walking yet?
And are your drums a-beating yet?
If you were walking I would wait
Tae gang tae the coals in the morning
 
unless the lord and master of them all should, by any manifest declaration of his will, set one above another, and confer on him,
 
Come noo Johnnie be as good as your word
And let us try baith fire and sword
Dinnae flee like a frightened bird
Thats gone frae its nest in the morning
 
by evident and clear appointment, an undoubted right to dominion and sovereignty.
