Forby he had within his dwellings
Three winsome queans and five braw callans
Ye wadna, in the hail braid Lallans,
Hae fand their marrow,
Were ye to search frae auld Tantallans
To Braes o’ Yarrow.
It happened that three breekless bands
O’ caterans came frae distant lands,
And took what fell amang their hands,
O’ sheep and duddies.
