We saddled our naigs wi* the moon fern leaf,
And rode frae Kilmorran Kirk.
"Some horses were of "the broom-cow framed,
And some of the green bay tree:
But mine was made of a hemlock-shaw,
And a stout stallion was he.
"We rode the tod doon on the hill,
The martin on the law;
And we hunted the hoolit out o' breath,
And forcit him doon to fa'."
