That owns the nose o’ Frazer.
It’s great in length, it’s great in girth,
It’s great in grief, it’s great in mirth,
Tho’ grown wi’ years, ‘twas great at birth—
It’s greater far than Frazer!
I’ve heard volcanoes loudly roarin’,
And Niagara’s waters pourin’;
But oh, gin ye had heard the snorin’
Frae the nose o’ Captain Frazer!
To wauken sleepin’ congregations,
Or rouse to battle sleepin’ nations,
Gae wa’ wi’ preachin’s and orations,
And try the nose o’ Frazer!
Gif French invaders try to lan’
Upon our glorious British stran’,
Fear nocht if ships are no’ at han’,
But trust the nose o’ Frazer.
