BONNIE GEORGE CAMPBELL

Hie upon Hielands,

and laigh upon Tay,

Bonnie George Campbell

rode out on a day.

Saddled and briddled

and booted rade he;

Toom [46] hame cam' the saddle,

but never cam' he.

Down cam' his auld mither,

greetin'[47] fu' sair,

And down cam' his bonny wife,

wringin' her hair:—

"My meadow lies green,

and my corn is unshorn,

My barn is to build

and my babe is unborn."

Saddled and briddled

and booted rade he;

Toom hame cam' the saddle

but never cam' he.
