Cunningham’s Songs of Scotland, II, 186, 188; “from the recitation of Mrs Cunningham.”

1

And soon she came to the water broad,

Nor boat nor barge was ready;

She turned her horse’s head to the flood,

And swam through at Queensferry.

‘Mang earls high and lordlie,

There hat on head sat every man,

While hat in hand stood Geordie.
