about

Provost Positive. James Morison Jr. was Provost of Aberdeen from 1744-45 and again from 1752-53. During the last Jacobite rising his brave responses to boorish behaviour by both sides of the conflict, when they were in Aberdeen, led to him being known as ‘Provost Positive’.

lyrics

PROVOST POSITIVE
They say pride comes before a fall
But we’re all proud of him
He took the blows and stood up tall
He went out on a limb
The Jacobites tried to make him drink
A toast which he quick refused
So they poured their ale on the poor man’s head
He was brave, and he was bruised
He always does his best
He’s a good man through and through
Here comes Provost Positive now
We all love Provost Positive now

And so should you!
And so should you!

We know that he’s not a saint
But we’re happy he is here
His heart is big and never faint
He has no time for fear
King George’s men broke many laws
Oh they did it just for fun
But Provost Positive stood up strong
And jailed them every one
He always does his best
He’s a good man through and through
Here comes Provost Positive now
We all love Provost Positive now

And so should you!
And so should you!
