{{italic title}}

Cock Up Your Beaver is a song and poem by Robert Burns, written in 1792.[1] It is written in Scottish dialect and the beaver refers to a kind of hat.

It was based on an older song, published as "Johnny, cock up thy Beaver". It is widely claimed that this is found in The Dancing Master, a collection of folk tunes published by John Playford of London in 1657.[2][3]

However, this is disputed by Scottish music scholar John Glen who states it first appears in the 1686 edition of "The Dancing Master".[4]

It was originally published in 1792 in volume 4 of the Scots Musical Museum[2] and again in 1821 in a compilation by James Hogg, with four verses and musical notation of a tune.[5]

The original version was English, and ridiculed Scotsmen who settled in London after the accession of James VI to the throne of England,[6] possibly satirizing the costumes of highland chiefs entering the lowlands.

[7]

The song, hand-written by Burns, is in the Scots Musical Museum.[2][3]

A piece entitled Carolan's Variations on the Scottish Air "Cock Up Your Beaver" is composition no. 204 in the oeuvre of Turlough O'Carolan.[8]
