Johnny Cope Bagpipes

Hey, Johnnie Cope, are Ye Waking Yet?, also Hey Johnnie Cope, are you awake yet?, Heigh! Johnnie Cowp, are ye wauken yet?, or simply "Johnny Cope" is a Scottish folk song.
The song, written by Adam Skirving, gives an account from the Jacobite viewpoint of the Battle of Prestonpans. In the battle, which took place during the Second Jacobite uprising, Sir John Cope was the commander of the government troops, and was defeated in a dawn attack by the Jacobites.

The tune, set for pipes, is the regulation pipe call for Réveillé in the Scots Guards Regiment, in which John Cope served between 1710 and 1712.
