Part 1 / Book 3 — 95. The Bonny Earl of Murray

I Ye Highlands and ye Lawlands, O where hae ye been? They hae slain the Earl of Murray, And hae laid him on the green. II Now wae be to thee, Huntley! And whairfore did ye sae! I bade you bring him wi’ you, But forbade you him to slay. III He was a braw gallant, And he rid at the ring; And the bonny Earl of Murray, O he might hae been a king! IV He was a braw gallant, And he play’d at the ba’; And the bonny Earl of Murray Was the flower amang them a’! V He was a braw gallant, And he play’d at the gluve; And the bonny Earl of Murray, O he was the Queen’s luve! VI O lang will his Lady Look owre the Castle Downe, Ere she see the Earl of Murray Come sounding through the town!
